Though it's not exactly new, Sugarveil is a product that is mostly familiar to cake professionals. It's a really cool icing that can do a lot of different things and really add some wow to your cakes.Sugarveil comes in a powder form that you mix with boiling water. After it's ready, you can pipe it over a design or use it with a stencil among other things. You just let your design dry, then peel it up and place it on your cake. It dries to be kind of like vinyl, but it tastes good and it cuts well.
You can check out the website for more information and ideas. They provide all kinds of instructions and tips. It's only $15 for a one pound container, which makes it affordable to try if you're really into cake decorating. If you are a serious home decorator, or a professional, it may be worth looking into to. Put that something extra into your next cake.

...Except that you need $250+ worth of equipment to use it.

Hi - you can use a regular paper cone and tips, you don't need the $200 dispenser to use :)
It's wonderful stuff.

How is it cheating? The site says you don't have to use their icing dispenser.

Because it's pre-made. I guess I would feel differently if I had to turn out dozens of cakes a week, but I think I would feel guilty and have to fess up if I used it an people commented on how nice it looked. Probably a good product for people who don't have a lot of experience or time to spend on a cake.

Premade? It's a confection that you can use to create different things. It's like anything else you make - they're providing an unique basis to start from - what YOU do with it, is totally up to you. People buy a frosting mix, same basic idea with incredible results.
Have you looked at their website? The examples? These cakes are all made from scratch. What about the wedding dress? I really don't understand how you can call any of this cheating.

Is this the stuff that the "Ace of Cakes" covers cakes with?
