    anyone have any ideas on how to pipe henna designs onto a cake? I haven't really tried piping properly yet but I'd need to use royal icing right? I have some henna stencils, could I use those or would it be better to trace a pattern and somehow put it on the cake?

    you can get coloured edible powders which you can use as a kind of paint that would work with stencils. you could do this on top of an iced cake
