Hi Everyone,

Would appreicate if someone out there could advise me on the best consistency of BCT to work with. I am doing a birthday cake this weekend whereby the wordings will be in BCT. Secondly, Can I freeze the outline before continuing icing the centre part... I'm living in a warm & humid country...by doing everything at the same time, I'm worried that the color will smudge.....Than k you in Advance icon_smile.gif

the best consistency for writing is thin, with a little piping gel or corn syrup added (i beielve its 1/4 tsp. per cup of icing). I don't know anything about freezing, so I'll let someone else who does help you with that. hope this helps!

I freeze my outlines all the time. My kitchen tends to get hot, so it really does help to freeze the outline. I also freeze in between depending on how detailed and how small some of the parts are. I do my outlines in a medium or so consitency and definitely a thin to fill. HTH
