Cake Decorating Basics: Piping Gel Pattern Transfer

The piping gel pattern transfer technique is a great way to get a simple image or drawing on your cake. Please note that the image will be flipped, so if your design has any number, letters, etc. then you'll need to trace a mirror image so that it will look right on the cake. I'm using pre-colored piping gel tubes (amzn.to/1Uuk7Bq) in this video, but you can also get clear piping gel (amzn.to/Kjlwww) that you color yourself.

If you let it dry on wax paper or parchment will it peel off like a royal icing transfer?

[@itsnotmeitsyou4582]

why buy it when u can make your own way cheaper, this gel is the same the use to write names on cakes. or do the stain glass effect.

is there a way to make the color a bit darker?since it is a gel sort of icing,im afraid it may look too
gel-like.

can i do this on ganache?

[@cedmondsdragonwing]

When you brush the piping gel onto the cake, is the brush dry, or do you wet it with water?

[@jhowardsupporter]

It is important to use the softest brush possible. That's why I only use cat fur brushes. I also like the subtle cat flavour it imparts if brushed directly on the cake.

[@greaseni6446]

Hi, I try this , but tell me is the cake have to be COLD.?

[@cakedarla]

No, the cake can be room temperature, and you want the surface of the icing to be dry.
