Has anyone ever made homemade piping gel and have good luck with it? Here is the recipe I found. I just put mine in the refrigerator but it seems awful thin right now. I am wanting to try a piping gel transfer. I figured since I already had the ingredients on hand this would be cheaper than buy a tub of piping gel. I am not close to a Michael's or Hobby Lobby either.
