I'm preparing to make a themed birthday cake that includes water. I've seen it done in the Wilton magazines with tinted piping gel... is this the best method? How easy is it to work with piping gel? What does it taste like?
Thanks for your help!

Tinted piping gel is the best I've seen. It doesn't really have any real taste. You could always add a hint of simple syrup to it to sweeten it a bit. It's very easy to work with.
Regarding the water effect..I personally like to use buttercream. Add some royal blue and mix it well, then add i little more of the blue and just bearly mix it in. That way you end up with several shades of blue. When you spread it on the cake, use short quick strokes to get the wave effect. I like to finish it off with the white/clear and blue glitter. It makes it sparkle like water. Happy Baking, Missey
