Answer 1

yea you can but use egg white not water

Answer 2

you will need to thin it down with egg white, add a little at a time and when at the right consistency keep it wrapped in clingfilm or it will develop a crust and make it impossible to pipe.

Hope this helps

Answer 3

you would be better of mixing some icing sugar up and piping that on the cake it tastes lovely but has a slightly different texture so it looks nice. read the instructions on the packet as to how to mix it up
