Caking It Up - Quill Mesh Stencil

Our mesh cake stencils are made from a very fine mesh material which allows for application of very detailed designs onto your cakes.

With a more flexible material they are quite easy to apply to your cake, allowing you to either wrap and pin in place or simply hold in place with your hand.

Mesh stencils are perfect for using with royal icing on fondant covered cakes and ganache covered cakes as they leave a perfect stain on your fondant surface. 

They also work well on buttercream cakes. If your buttercream is a hard crusting one your mesh stencil will work effectively on a well-chilled cake, preferably left in the freezer or fridge until it is cold and set.

Simply spread some of your mixture over the design, scrape back the excess and peel back your stencils. It is best to make your mixture highly concentrated in colour to ensure a perfectly stained result. The deeper the colour the better the result. Your mixture will need to be quite smooth and almost like a paint consistency to ensure the colour is able to seep through the fine mesh holes.
