For anyone who has done brush embroidery...I am going to try it this weekend on a wedding shower cake. My question is, do you use plain royal icing or do you add a spoonful of piping gel to the royal? I have a book that suggests the piping gel to make it easier to work with, but I will only have time to do this once and I don't want to mess it up! I have been practicing my flowers on parchment paper with mayonnaise and I am confident that I can make it look decent if I can just get the right texture of stuff to work with. Thanks for any advice, CC rocks!
I've never added piping gel. I do use a somewhat thinner royal to start with, but not too much, as you're adding water with the damp brush, too--don't want it runny.

I had classes with Collette Peters and she uses thinned royal, no piping gel.
