Method

STEP 1

Apply decorating stencil to dry (overnight) fondant cake using adhesive tape. Test tape in an inconspicuous place first to be sure the tape doesn’t pull at your fondant.

 

STEP 2

Prepare Royal Icing according to pack instructions, then add additional icing sugar to create a thick, stiff consistency. Spread thickly over taped stencil.

 

STEP 3

Use a scraper or ruler to evenly remove excess icing off stencil.

STEP 4

Carefully remove stencil from cake, pulling from left to right.

STEP 5

Tidy up any bleeding using a toothpick or damp cloth. Allow Royal Icing to fully dry before completing pattern on cake.

STEP 6

To complete the stencil pattern, tape clean stencil to area of cake where pattern needs finishing (top and/or bottom). Repeat steps 2-4, then your beautiful design is complete!
