Piping jelly is a transparent, sweet jelly used for decorating cakes. It is available in various colors and in a clear, colorless form you can color yourself. Piping jelly can be piped directly onto a cake with a paper cone. For example, you can add a touch of color to borders by first decorating them with one of the designs and then filling in some of the small loops with colored piping jelly.
Another way to use piping jelly is to make jelly transfers. These are colored pictures that are made ahead of time and applied to cakes as needed. Their advantage is that they can be made during slack hours and stored until called for.
