Silicone decor mat with flower motif

Silicone decor mat with flower motif

With this flexible mat, you can create delicate flower rosettes for cakes and cupcakes in no time at all. The individual rosettes can be attached to the edge or placed on top; a Mirror Glaze cake looks instantly elegant with a border and a single flower in the middle. What is the mat suitable for? The flower is ideal for placing on or sticking to fondant, royal icing, mirror glaze or chocolate; the borders are not suitable for very moist surfaces such as whipped cream. How is it used? Spread lace decorating paste such as Cake Lace evenly and without gaps into the structure using a metal horn or angled spatula. Return any excess paste to the cup. Place the mat in the oven for 15 minutes at 80-100 °C, check carefully around the edges and extend the baking time by 3-5 minutes if necessary. Once the mixture is completely dry, remove the decoration from the mat and use directly; it remains soft and flexible for a long time, can be made a few days in advance and stored in an airtight container for up to two months. The flower can be used to create borders and individual flowers, which can be attached to fondant or chocolate with food glue or lightly pressed onto royal icing, mirror glaze and soft chocolate. For subtle color effects, the finished decoration can be gently sprayed with an airbrush.
