Wilton Clear Piping Gel. 283gm Tub
EdibleWilton Clear piping gel is a versatile decorating tool used in cake decorating, cookie decorating, and other dessert preparations.
Piping Gel is one of those must have essentials in The Cake Mixer kitchen. Here are some tasks we use piping gel for:
-
Writing and Outlining: Piping gel can be used to write messages, outline designs, or create borders on cakes and cookies. Its thick consistency allows for precise lines and details.
-
Gluing Decorations: Piping gel can act as an edible glue to attach fondant decorations, edible pearls, sprinkles, or other edible embellishments onto cakes, cookies, and cupcakes.
-
Creating Water Effects: Piping gel can simulate water or liquid effects on cakes and desserts. It can be tinted with food coloring to create realistic-looking water for beach-themed cakes, pond scenes, or any other design requiring a watery effect.
-
Adding Shine: Piping gel can be brushed onto fondant or gum paste decorations to give them a glossy finish, enhancing their appearance and making them stand out.
-
Stabilizing Whipped Cream or Frosting: When mixed in small amounts with whipped cream or frosting, piping gel can help stabilize the mixture, preventing it from deflating or becoming too runny. This is particularly useful for decorating cupcakes or filling pastries.
-
Creating Stained Glass Effects: By mixing piping gel with food coloring, you can create a transparent colored gel that can be used to make stained glass effects on cookies or other desserts.
-
Sealing Fresh Fruit: When used as a glaze, piping gel can help seal and preserve fresh fruit on cakes, preventing them from drying out or oxidizing.
-
Adding Texture: Piping gel can be used to add texture to cake designs, such as creating scales on a mermaid cake or adding texture to fondant flowers.
-
Making Gel Transfers: Piping gel can be used to make gel transfers, where a design is printed onto parchment paper or acetate sheets using edible ink and then transferred onto a cake or cookie using the gel.
- Making Metallic Colour Drips: Mixing Piping Gel with Royal Icing, Lemon Extract and Lustre Dust will give you an amazing Metallic finish liquid ready to use as a drip.
Overall, edible piping gel is a handy tool for cake decorators and bakers, offering a range of uses to enhance the appearance and creativity of desserts
