It can be added to your icing for lines or writing on your cake.. It makes it more stretchy so to speak.. You also can use it to get a water look on a cake.. In the wilton class we have used it to outline a pic on wax paper so you can tranfer it on to your cake
You can also draw with piping gel. I did a cupcake cake for my daughter with it and here it is. We use to have this awesome cakery here before I got into cakes and all of their cakes were decorated with piping gel.

It is great for water tint it blue! Using in icing for stringwork! Transfers, filling in areas, stained glass look, make eyes etc look shiny and I know there are others.

I know this is off subject, but how do you do a cupcake cake? how do you get the icing smooth over all of them? Thanks!
I use it in my buttercream when I am using a number 1 tip. Makes it much easier to work.
use it to glue my fondant to dummy cakes and also use it as a fondant glue.
I also rub it on items like fondant bottles and glasses to make them look like glass. (shiny)
I use it to glue drages to cakes and fake diamonds, etc.

Hi, when you use it to imitate water, do you use it as is with color added or dilute it?
Thank you

Hi, When you use it as glue, do you dilute it or just as is? I thought i could use this with a paintbrush to use it for glue.
Thanks
All mentioned uses for piping gel are great and true. You can also tint ( I prefer White Stokes, Agar piping gel (plain)) quality piping gel with luster dust colors such as pearl, silver, & gold for piping, double piping, and brush embrodery work. Tinted piping gel is easier to eat in place of dragees which are hard and crunchy and outlawed in California so I hear. If you are after a sheen (high-glass look) on American Buttercream, add pipin gel to the icing. Swiss and Italian buttercreams allready have a sheen to them. Piping gel is a must have in any bakery!
ADoes piping gel have taste? And which brand would you suggest? I want to make black:) thank you I'm advance!
