Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use casting gel for faux glass cake decorations?

Melt the casting gel gently in the microwave or over hot water, then pour into silicone moulds or onto a flat surface. Allow to cool and set completely before removing from the mould. For coloured effects, add a small amount of gel food colouring while the gel is still liquid and stir to combine before pouring.

Is casting gel the same as regular gelatine?

Casting gel is similar in composition to gelatine but is formulated for artistic cake decorating work, producing a clearer, more stable, and more flexible set than standard sheet or powdered gelatine. It is designed for pouring into moulds and for detailed decorative work where clarity and definition are important.
