Tracing An Image Using Piping Gel.
Decorating By LittleLinda Updated 3 Mar 2006 , 11:02am by flayvurdfun
I read that people trace images on thier cakes using piping gel. Isn't that a clear product? How does that work? I also read that others use an art brush with food coloring. Is that our regular icing colors we get by Wilton?
well yes it is a clear gel....some color it first....I however use the gel in tubes that you squeeze on and let it stand a little bit to "harden" then press it down onto a cake that has been frosted and the frosting has "set" a little. it works pretty good.....
Flavurdfun, please tell me more aroub that technique or send me to a post where it has been explained. Do you trace with the tube of gel onto a wax paper in reverse? I've been cutting out stencils for years and it takes a long time to create them. I have also recently been considering investing in a Kopykake.

yes, that is especially important when you do wording..... most of the cakes I have that have a picture on it is this technique.... let me see if I can find a post...I know we have one somewhere...
Flayvurdfun: Can you tell me which brand of gel in a tube you use? The only one I have seen I believe is Betty Crocker. Is that the one you are talking about?
Thanks,
Cecilia
