How to use mandala stencils on your cakes and cookies

I adore using pretty mandala stencils, they are so easy and effective to use, yet therapeutic at the same time. I  believe I first became properly aware of mandala designs when I was researching my early doodle cakes.  This discovery, I am sure, influenced me when I created my Colourful Mandala Cake Design Project for Cake Decoration […]
