Piping Gel 2 (For Decorating Cakes, Cookies Etc)
"My kids are allergic to artificial flavors and colors. I am taking some cake decorating courses to try to make more professional looking cakes for them. Piping Gel is one thing had not been able to find an alternative for I went looking for recipes. This one was posted on the Feingold Group on Yahoo by Covey Denton.
Original description from creator: The colors (that are normally muted in regular icing) really popped! I also tried it with an approved juice and the color was really a vivid purple and vivid red. I just omitted the sugar when I used the juice. Just thought I would share a neat recipe and a fun alternative to icing."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
My passions are photography and cooking (a good combination to have a 'zaar!) I try to photograph every recipe I review. My family sometimes wishes we could just sit down to eat at night without first having to take pictures of what we are eating!
I've been cooking for a long time and recently started baking from scratch. I have been a member at 'zaar for quite a few years and my tried-and-tried recipes come mainly from my favorite chefs here. I am dabbling in OAMC and pantry cooking and do a lot of baking due to my boys' food allergies. We follow the Feingold Program, an alternative to ADHD medications. Feingold eliminates food additives such as artificial flavors and colorings, synthetic sweeteners such as Equal and the petroleum-based preservatives such as BHT, BHA and TBHQ (ewww!!) You can find more information on the Feingold program by visiting the website at http://www.feingold.org. I have become a much better cook since starting the program two years ago and have become somewhat of a food snob because of it.
I am a mom first and for-most. I also work with families who lose a child at or before birth.
