Please could anyone tell me how to make see through icing to make the water effect. I have seen some on the internet but they all ask for corn syrup/starch, as l am front england this is not available. So was wondering if anyone has an alternate recipe. Please help. xxxx
Do you have piping gel where you live? It comes in blue and other colors as well.
Here's a link to clear piping gel, but you can color it to look like water. Hope that helps.

Its piping gel you need its only clear over here but you can colour it blue with paste colours to get water effect for blue water most online suppliers sell it like almond art or design a cake.

That recipe is great. (I reduce the lemon juice a bit.) However, you said you cannot get cornstarch. I googled "substitute for cornstarch" and found that you could use flour, potato starch, rice starch, arrowroot or tapioca:

I don't know how well those things would work in the recipe, but the ingredients are not that expensive, so maybe you could experiment.
Good luck.

You can use liquid glucose in place of corn syrup. You can buy small jars of it (Dr Oetker brand) in supermarkets.
Corn starch is corn flour.
