Stencilling is an extremely effective way to quickly add impressive patterns and decorations to your cakes and cookies. For the best and most satisfying results we recommend you use laser cut culinary stencils made from durable food-grade plastic. How you choose to add a stencilled pattern will depend on the effect you wish to achieve and the size of the item to be stencilled. There are various techniques you can use including dusting with edible dusts, using royal icing or simply using the stencil to emboss your sugarpaste and fondant. TIP: Be wary of cheap flimsy stencils as these only lead to frustration and inferior results.
