Ingredients

Making your own cake decorating gel is a fun and easy way to give your cakes a unique look. For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

4 tablespoons cornstarch
6 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
Gel food coloring (optional)

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch, water, sugar, and corn syrup until all of the ingredients are well combined. Heat the mixture over medium heat. Stir constantly for about 5 minutes, until the mixture has thickened. Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes.

If you are using food coloring, add it to the mixture and stir until the color has been evenly distributed. You can also use different colors and make a variety of shades.

Once the mixture has cooled, transfer it to a squeeze bottle or plastic bag. Cut the tip off the bag and use it to pipe the gel onto your cake.

If you are using a squeeze bottle, use it to draw designs on the cake. If you are using a plastic bag, use it to pipe stars, dots, or other shapes onto the cake. Work quickly, as the gel will thicken as it cools.

Let the gel cool completely before serving. Store any leftover gel in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
