Silicone decorating mat with cupcake motifs

Create intricate cupcake designs as borders or individual decorations for cakes, cupcakes and muffins. What is the mat suitable for? For elegant lace decorations that can be applied flexibly - whether as a border around the edge of the cake or as a playful highlight on cupcakes. You can create three different cupcake designs with the silicone cupcake decorating mat. How is it used? Apply a suitable sugar paste, for example Lace Decorating Paste or Cake Lace, and smooth it out with a metal horn or angled spatula; there should be no gaps. Put any excess paste back into the cup and seal it tightly. Bake the entire mat for 15 minutes at 80-100 °C, then carefully loosen the hardened paste from the edge; if it is not yet ready, return it to the oven for a further 3-5 minutes. After drying, the motif can be lifted off completely and used immediately; the patterns remain soft and flexible for a long time, can be made days in advance and stored in airtight packaging for up to two months before they become brittle over time. A little food glue is suitable for attaching to fondant or chocolate; with royal icing, mirror glaze or even softer chocolate, light pressure is sufficient. The borders are not suitable for surfaces with a high moisture content - they would dissolve on whipped cream. For special effects, you can lightly spray the finished patterns with an airbrush to create color tones or soft color gradients. Sophisticated decorations can be created in no time at all with the silicone decorating mat Cupcake.
