of fermentation or mould etc.

Making the most of...
Piping Gel
The bakery world has been using Piping Gel for a very long time and most
of us will have probably eaten or seen it on cakes and desserts without
realising it. Think of Cream Donuts with a red gel line on top, Viennese
whirls with a red gel centre or maybe Cupcakes with a coloured clear
piped decoration
Piping Gel has very little taste, is soft to eat, will easily take colour and is
basically a combination of Glucose Syrup, Water, Sugar and a Gelling Agent.

Behind the scenes at
In todays world of Cake Decorating and Baking we are inclined to take our tools and
equipment for granted and probably dont stop to think of the back ground stories that
inspired and developed their innovation.

Most modelling tools are classic shapes that have been used by sculptors and artists for centuries
and were made using whatever materials came to hand. Many started life as simple bone or wooden
shapes and were then gradually honed into the designs that we now use and love and cannot manage
without i.e. Bone Tool, Ball Tool and Shell Tool etc.

Of course time doesnt stand still and new ideas and concepts are always emerging and this is the
story of three modelling tools that we now accept as basics.

sugarpaste prepare the penguins body by

2 Roll out black sugarpaste and use the large


tree cookie cutter to cut out a shape. This

triangle by rolling one side between the palms
of your hands to make a tree shape. Make a
larger or smaller tree by using a larger or smaller
ball of sugarpaste.

sugarpaste. Start at the base and work
upwards around the tree to the top.
