To use, simply warm the confectionery coating pen gently in hot water as instructed on the packaging until the coating is melted and smooth. Once warmed, you can start drawing or writing directly onto your cooled baked goods. The fine tip allows for precise application. If the coating starts to harden, you can rewarm the pen. It is best to practice your designs on parchment paper first to get a feel for the flow and consistency. Allow the decorated items to set completely before handling or serving.
How it differs from similar foods

It does not require separate mixing or special tips, and the pen format is less messy. The coating also tends to set harder than buttercream or royal icing, providing a more durable decoration.

How to keep the rest
After use, allow the pen tip to cool and then store it upright in a cool, dry place. If any coating remains inside, it can be re-melted for future use. Ensure the cap is securely fastened to prevent drying out.
