Silicone border mat Sweeping heart motifs

With this silicone mat, you can create delicate, playful lace borders with small heart motifs, ideal for elegant cake borders. How is it used? Apply a suitable sugar paste and spread it evenly with a metal horn or angled spatula, leaving no gaps. Use lace decorating paste (available in 11 colors) or e.g. Cake Lace; excess paste goes back into the cup. Bake the entire mat for 15 minutes at 80-100 degrees, carefully loosen the edges and extend in 3-5 minute increments if necessary. Once completely dry, the border can be easily removed and used straight away; it remains soft and flexible for a long time. What is it suitable for? The delicate patterns are applied or glued to the edge, preferably with a little food glue on fondant or chocolate. For royal icing, mirror glaze or even softer chocolate, simply press lightly. The borders are not suitable for very moist surfaces such as whipped cream. For special effects, you can lightly mist the border with an airbrush to create color tones or gentle gradients. Use the mat to create cake borders quickly and professionally. The elements can be made a few days in advance and stored in airtight packaging for up to two months before they become brittle over time.
