So, I attempted to make the Bronwen cake she did in the ACD newsletter~ first time working w/ piping gel and I did not like it! It was just not coming out smoothly out of my tips! The fondant I made wasn't working for me either, it kept tearing and when I added more PS~ it would separate! Just not my night! I ended up finishing it..learned alot for next time!

Any critiques would be VERY VERY greatful!

TFL!

I like it! I'm not great at fondant at all. You're piping gel designs are pretty. It makes the cake look sparkly.

I think its pretty... i really like the piping gel effect!!

thanks! I have never done scroll work at all~ that's why it looks all crazy...

I think that the gel is one of thos ethings that you really have to have just the right design for, too much is overkillm and too little is just weird LOL. I think you did a good job

U are so right momof5kiki. When I was putting it on, I was thinking it was way too much~ but if I didn't put it on, it looked weird...but my husband & DD thinks it turned out wonderful! So, as long as they are happy- I'm happy!

looks cool to me.

what kind of piping gel did you use??? The only kind I've ever bought I think was from CK brand and it tasted nasaty!!!!! Does yours have a sugary taste???? Mine didn't at all, I wonder if it was bad or something??

I used the wilton piping gel...it didn't really have a taste to it...so I'm not sure- it was just hard to manage!

maybe try adding some corn syrup next time to make is more smooth??
