Caking It Up - Mesh Stencil - Florence

New Mesh stencils from Caking it Up help you achieve ultra fine details to your stencilling. They are more flexible than acrylic stencils and so attach to your cake easier.

This stencil has a beautiful repeating pattern and lends itself to lots of different themes. Designed by the owner Karen Reeves these stencils create amazing patterns quickly and efficiently. The large size of the stencil means you can easily decorate taller tiers with ease.

Spread royal icing with a palette knife across the stencil to apply the design to the cake. Remove excess icing with a scraper and slowly peel stencil away from the cake. For best results, the consistency of the royal icing should be thin enough so it drips slowly from the spoon. To achieve this, add water to thin the icing.

Wash and dry the stencil between applications and after use. For repeat patterns, allow icing to dry before next application.
