SugarVeil works nicely on whipped cream. On frozen whipped cream cakes, SugarVeil decorations will last indefinitely. Refrigerated whipped cream cakes with SugarVeil decorations will last the lifetime of the cake. We always say to test with your particular refrigeration device to know precisely before storing in advance, for example, a refrigerated wedding cake.

Felisha. mix gold luster dust with grain alcohol and you can airbrush or paint directly onto SugarVeil decorations. Here are some tips and complete instructions for using SugarVeil: sugarveil.com/instructionlanding.

Hello Osha - When SugarVeil is brittle after air setting, it means that it has been in the mat for too long - it has gone beyond the "set" stage and has dried. In some low humidities (or if a furnace dries out the air), overnight is too long for SugarVeil to air set. If you are oven setting and SugarVeil dries, lessen the oven time 1 minute or so, as your oven may run hotter than the ovens used to frame the times in our instructions. If you work in a kitchen with with operating ovens, or live in a very dry climate, here are three good tips: 1. Use 1 Tbl. less water in mixing: 2/3 cup (95g) SugarVeil powder to 1/3 cup (80ml) water less 1 Tbl. (15ml). 2. After spreading the first series of swipes onto the mat, place into the oven for 2 min. Remove, cool (it won't be completely set, but is set enough to not come off on your finger when touched), and re-spread the entire mat with a second series of swipes. This second series ensures that a sufficiency of SugarVeil reaches all the tiny lace lines in the mat. As you become more adept with the spreading technique (Spreader angled close to the mat, pressure from your fingertips on the bottom of the Spreader to ensure you are compressing SugarVeil into the design lines), you'll be able to accomplish this spreading in one go. 3. Don't forget to wipe the entire mat with a wet cloth directly upon removing from oven - it's a step in the instructions, but is often overlooked. More tips of "Working with SugarVeil in Dry Conditions" are here: sugarveil.com/dry-conditions/ - lots of good info there. Especially note the wet towels placed under the mat, and rolled up around your work area - this adds lots of additional humidity and gives you much more working time when spending time cutting SugarVeil decorations from the delicate lace pieces. The entirety of SugarVeil instructions are here: sugarveil.com/instructionlanding. Peruse those, and call or email us at [email protected] with any questions you may have - we are happy to help you.

Hi Kathy, If SugarVeil is sticky, it simply means it is not yet set. Place the mat near a fan, or an operating oven to dry out the surrounding air so it may continue to set. Here are a few other notes: Be sure you beat SugarVeil Icing directly before spreading. When spreading SugarVeil as a beginner, to ensure you've enough SugarVeil in the tiny lace lines, spread a second series of strokes when the first are partially set. Here are the complete instructions and some helpful tips, too: sugarveil.com/instructionlanding.

Marlene, store SugarVeil between parchment sheets out of sunlight air-tight in a zipped plastic bag. You can also return dry SugarVeil to flexibility by adding moisture to the decorations, like this: sugarveil.com/techniques. The thicker the SugarVeil decorations, the longer they will remain flexible. If stored in mildly humid conditions, SugarVeil decorations can even remain flexible for months. Complete SugarVeil instructions are here: sugarveil.com/instructionlanding. Thank you!

Tina, this is the AirPen - more info here: sugarveil.com/sugarveil-airpen-piping-dispenser. Thank you!

Yes, Barbie - works great with any luster dust.

Murilo, you can purchase SugarVeil products via our website at www.sugarveil.com. Thank you!

Absolutely - you can use any luster dust to do this - we chose copper.

Either measurement/process works well with SugarVeil. Here are complete instructions: sugarveil.com/instructionlanding. Thank you!

I will pass this along, Dorothy. In the meantime, take a look at our website www.sugarveil.com, especially the "Techniques" section. Thank you!

Susan, the red icing is piping gel, the pink is royal icing, and all the others are SugarVeil Icing.

Piping the icing into the cartridges is the easiest way to fill them. If the icing is pourable, you can pour it.

+I I tried using buttercream and it didn't work as well as in your video. Any suggestions???

Any thick buttercream benefits by warming a bit so the flow is speedier - you can do this by placing the cartridges in a folded heating pad. When the buttercream begins to cool/thicken, simply rotate the cartridges. Here are the complete instructions: sugarveil.com/Content/pdf/SugarVeil-Piping-Dispenser.pdf. Thank you!

You sure can. You will just need to make sure the consistency is right for piping through the small tips.

Pastry Pride would be just fine as it works on other non-dairy icings. You should certainly just try it first as a test.

+pixiecupcake75 Thank you so much! We have fun!

+pixiecupcake75 Thanks!

+pixiecupcake75 Yes, you will spread the Extra Dark Chocolate Icing and let it set. To make sure there isn't a "haze" of dark icing left in the open areas, wrap a lint-free dish towel around your index finger and gently rub at those areas. Then you can add your details with the AirPen Piping Dispenser. Once everything is filled in and set, you can then peel out the skull and admire your work!

+shaun clarke You can use any icing (or even melted chocolate)! Just make sure that your icing is free of any lumps and is the proper consistency to fit through whichever tip you are using.

Will love to take you up on this offer ..I've messaged you on Facebook thank you..

+barefootdyke We look forward to seeing what you do with it!

+Sue Green Hi, Sue! As you probably also noticed, at the time the video talks about the 100 degree oven, there is also a pop-up comment that mentions 200 degrees. We are constantly experimenting with different techniques and methods, and this video is from 2009. Our most recent instructions use a quick, simple oven-setting technique. You can find those instructions here: facebook.com/notes/sugarveil-icing/oven-setting-sugarveil-instructions-for-use-with-sugarveil-confectioners-mats/589689461074977 All of our instructions work depending on conditions, but our newest instructions seem to work very well for most. I hope that helps!

+Kricky Cakes and Airbrush Thanks for the heads up! Either it has been taken down or we can't see it now.

SugarVeil

Absolutely, and SugarVeil tastes great!

+SUGARCODER Thank you so much!

+Gary Sharp Absolutely! We make a model just for paints, glazes, etc., with different tips. You can find that here: www.silkpaint.com/airpen/index.htm Hope that helps!

+Jessica Wilson The back of all our mats have a smooth finish. That is what we use to make SugarVeil "fabric" for bows, draping, etc. So every mat can be used on both sides! When you peel up the SugarVeil, one side will have a glossy finish and the other will be matte.

Marti Thew For a consistent mixture, beat the SugarVeil Icing before using it in the AirPen. Also, if you use the green tip and lighten the pressure with her fingertip you will get the very fine lines you are trying to achieve. Hope that helps!

ken ottem Great! We are always here if you need help! You will find loads of tips here: facebook.com/SugarVeilicing/notes

Ellie Bissell nevermind!! the instructions i got said to use the paddle attachment and beat on medium. after watching this video, i did it again using the whisk attachment on high speed and i ended up with exactly what you have in this video.

Ellie Bissell That's fantastic, Ellie! We are always here to help. You can email us at [email protected] or leave a comment on our Facebook page.

Patti Weyers Because SugarVeil is the original edible, flexible lace product, there are several different versions of our instructions. We are constantly experimenting with different techniques and methods. As you can see, this video is from 2009. All of our instructions work; just some work better depending upon different working conditions. Our most recent instructions use a quick, simple oven-setting technique. You can find those instructions here: facebook.com/notes/sugarveil-icing/oven-setting-sugarveil-instructions-for-use-with-sugarveil-confectioners-mats/589689461074977

thecottagegarden We hope so too!

Amvex Angel Hi Amvex - you can use any type of icing in the AirPen. Piping gel and SugarVeil are in the video, but you can also use buttercream, royal icing, chocolate (rotate the cartridges in a folded heating pad when the chocolate becomes a bit stiff), etc. There are 14 round tips from which you can select based upon the line and the icing you use. When you make your own icing, just be sure to sift all the ingredients so the mixture is consistent.

Thanks! We are excited too!
