Hi @ Jessica: Absolutely you can pipe right onto the cake; I just don’t trust my drawing skills. Have fun decorating!

I know this an old post, but I am making a cake for my daughter’s birthday, and I wanted to create some cute characters that I’ve seen on cookies, but obviously I want to put them on a cake instead. The question I have is, if the decoration is going to lay flat on the cake instead of on the sides, and if I trust my workmanship enough, would it work to just pipe the design directly on the cake? Would I have to use fondant if I wanted to do this? I trust myself more to pipe it one the cake once than to make multiples, and have the best one break as I try to transfer it.

@ Becci: It’s a fat/lard sometimes used in baking. One popular brand in NA is Tenderflake. Try googling as well for pics; you may have already seen it.
