I am making a beach inspired cake which will have water flowing throw it. How do I make water (I don't really want to use blue colored buttercream)???

you could use piping gel.. RI.. maybe some others will throw in their idea..good luck

I suggest piping gel also. Use very little coloring because I have found that it doesn't take much to color that stuff. jana C*

I also suggest piping gel...if you want an extra shimmery look, Wilton has a new sparkle gel available.

I did a beach themed cake about a month ago. I iced the cake with light blue BC then put piping gel that was tinted blue over it. Every one loved the cake.

Piping gel is the way to go! But definitely watch how much color you add. A tiny bit goes a long way with piping gel. Test it out as you color.

I remember a tip sometime ago where someone suggested that you melt gummies, if you could find all blue that is...could make your own gummies as well. I have never tried it, but I would imagine it would give a very nice shiny 3d look of water.

i use piping gel with a litltte color of blue
