Texture & decorating mats
There are 14 products.
Texture and decorating mats made of silicone turn thinly spread mixtures into lace, butterflies, snowflakes or graphic patterns, and some even imprint a texture into pastry. In this category you will find mats with circles (Circles 3), butterflies (Grace), snowballs (Snowball), snowflakes and fir trees (Sweet Xmas), a mat with three large snowflakes, a honeycomb texture with little bees (Alvéolé 3) as well as heart and flower, round and oval, drop, fire bowl and love motifs. For the festive season there is also a mould for decorating a Bûche de Noël, and for puff, shortcrust and filo pastry the two-piece professional mats with wave and zigzag patterns.
Tips for texture and decorating mats
- Spread lace paste, cigarette paste or chocolate thinly into the mat and scrape off the excess with a spatula so the outlines stay crisp.
- With the professional mats, the pastry goes between the two parts: the top part weighs it down so it stays flat and takes on the pattern evenly.
- The Alvéolé 3 honeycomb mat matches perforated tart rings of Ø 8 or 10 cm.
- Crunchy snowflakes and fir trees from the Sweet Xmas mat give a Christmas Bûche a festive touch.
Frequently asked questions about texture and decorating mats
Why does the professional wave pattern mat come in two parts?
One part serves as the baking base, the other as a weight. This way puff, shortcrust or filo pastry rises evenly and keeps a clearly defined structure. The same applies to the zigzag version.
Can the decorating mats go in the oven and the freezer?
Yes, but the ranges differ from mat to mat: Circles 3 is rated for -40 °C to +250 °C, Grace, Snowball and Alvéolé 3 for -60 °C to +230 °C, and Sweet Xmas and the snowflake mat for -20 °C to +230 °C. Check the rating of the mat you have chosen before it goes in the oven so both decoration and mat stay intact.
