Hi everyone!

I've heard of the technique where you can trace images on to parchment paper and the transfer it on to a cake with piping gel.

Firstly, what is piping gel and where do I get it from? How does this method work? I've never done this before so I would appreciate any help.

Thank you

Yes....Actually this is a technique you learn in the first Wilton course....Not sure if you can find out about it on their site.
But really....you just trace it ...and then flip over on your cake...I think it is more of an outlining...then to do a whole picture.
Piping Gel comes in a little tub...to be honest...I haven't ever used mine since the class.
There is a really great tutorial on here for a frozen buttercream transfer...You may want to look that up...Probably easier and you already have the icing.
Good luck,Nicole
