Sugarflair Black Edible Food Decorating Pen - Dual Tip Food Pens for Writing Messages & Drawing On Sugar Paste, Marzipan, Frosting Or Any Other Dry Smooth Surface (Packaging may vary)

I used this to more easily draw tattoos onto Maui for my granddaughters cake. It’s as easy as using a felt tip pen. Easy to wipe off if you make a mistake but when it dries unless you wipe with water it stays so no problems with my hand wiping it off as I drew. Good bold colour. I didn’t write with it so can not comment on that but the tattoos were quite intricate. Great for what I needed!

I bought this to write on fondant. I used the fine end (the other seemed more like a brush and had a broader stroke). It wrote well, I would advice to practice on fondant first so you know how much pressure to apply when writing. I'm not a fan of liquorice but I couldn't taste it on the cake. It's a good pen and writes the first time without having to keep going over the bits. Very black. I would say it's good value for money but I paid more than I wanted to for it. However, if I was someone who wrote on cakes regularly, I'd say this is value for money.

Great colour and easy to use. Used them for the dark blue colour on the tiles of my wife’s birthday cake

This worked great, i used it to write a message on fondant icing. The colour was great and didn't run and I don't know how long it lasts because it hasn't run out yet.

Pen does not work. Ink so light on white icing that in attempting to get the ink out, the pen punched a hole. Not fit for purpose. Destroyed the cake on the morning of my son’s birthday party.

I have bought these before and use them on fondant icing. Good quality and value for money.

I bought these to do stencils with. Not suitable for colouring though. Overall good.

A few years ago I bought a black cake writing pen which was disappointingly light & useless. That cake was ruined & I had to re-ice it. This is a real black, dense colour which is it's probably why they named it "Liquorice". It's edible but tastless although I can understand why a person would think the name refers to the flavour (& not the colour). It's a good pen & works well. I would definitely recommend starting it off on a dried offcut of sugarpaste to get the liquid flowing & to get used to it before using it on your cake.
