| Top Tips for using stencils | |
|
Royal icing
This is the method that Lindy has been experimenting with. Place the Stencil directly on the cake or onto rolled out modelling paste. Place dollops of royal icing to help hold the stencil in place, then spread the royal icing, using a scraper or pallet knife, evenly over the stencil. Gently pull off the stencil and admire. |
|
|
Lustre dusts
Place on a cake that has been freshly covered with sugarpaste, roll over the stencil with a rolling pin, smear white vegetable fat over the exposed pattern, then using a soft brush, dust with lustre dust. |
|
|
Chocolate
Spread melted chocolate over the stencil onto a hard chocolate surface but make sure the chocolate you are spreading is not too hot otherwise it will melt your chocolate base |
|
|
Icing (powered) sugar / Cocoa Gently sprinkle through the stencil onto a cake top - but easy does it! |
|
|
Airbrushing
Secure stencil in and spray - experiment using different colours on different sections of the stencil |
