Create A Simple Border:<br />
Welcome to the world of DECOgel.<br />
DECOgel is a new medium that I am very excited about.<br />
It is a gelatin-based cake decorating medium that can<br />
be melted and poured into molds or on surfaces to create<br />
flexible cake designs. While DECOgel has a glass-like<br />
appearance similar to Isomalt, it can go in or out of the<br />
refrigerator and freezer where Isomalt can’t. I have been<br />
asked if DECOgel would replace Isomalt. No, it will not,<br />
it simply goes where Isomalt can’t and Isomalt goes places<br />
DECOgel cannot. They are similar in appearance but fulfill<br />
different needs.<br />
One of the many things DECOgel does is makes beautiful<br />
drapes with ease unlike any other product. In this tutorial,<br />
I will show you how to do a DECOgel image transfer and<br />
create a simple drape.<br />
1. Cut Black Pearl Luster<br />
Sheet to the desired height.<br />
Paint back of sheet with<br />
piping gel (you can also use<br />
shortening or water). Place<br />
on bottom part of cake.<br />
2. Cut complimentary piece<br />
a little shorter in height from<br />
the iDesign pattern. I chose<br />
Pattern 66 which is also<br />
found in the Peggy Tucker<br />
file on iDesigns. Place on<br />
bottom border.<br />
