Use these wonderful patterns to add interest and colour to the tops of your cakes and cake boards. Whether you wish to cover the top of a cake or cake board the same principles apply, simply choose a stencil of a suitable design and size to fit. Note: If you are stencilling a cake board you can use a stencil that is larger than the board you wish to stencil. You will have to tidy up the edges of the pattern but this can be done quickly and effectively with a damp brush.
