Any edible type of material might be utilized for cake decorations as long as it flows through the bag and also the tube but will hold its shape. In planning the various materials for decorating, consider the consistency of the icings. If the substance goes through the tube and loses its shape, then it is just too thin. If too much pressure is essential to push it from your tube, then your material must be thinned down slightly.
