Hi hun. I do a lot of ruffle decors on my cakes and I only use trex or crisco (white vegetable fat) lightly smeared on my work mat (wipe the excess off) then frill using my cone tool or ball tool depending on the ruffle look that I am after. If you are interested, I can send you a link of two of my ruffling technique video tutorial from you tube or you can look my channel up on you tube (rose warnick)
