Romantic castle gate silicone border mat

Romantic castle gate silicone border mat

This flexible mat forms intricate fence and gate borders that elegantly frame your cakes. The individual fence segments can be joined seamlessly at the posts, the gate and the fence have a floral motif in the middle and the height can be shortened unobtrusively at the bottom edge. What is it suitable for? For elegant, edible lace borders around cakes and cupcakes. The silicone border mat is coated with a suitable sugar paste, for example with Lace Decorating Paste (available in 11 colors) or with Cake Lace. Pour the mixture onto the mat and smooth with a metal horn or angled spatula, avoiding gaps and returning any excess to the cup. Then dry in the oven for 15 minutes at 80-100 degrees. If the edge still does not come off, bake for a further 3-5 minutes. Once the lace is dry, carefully peel it off completely; it remains soft and flexible for a long time and can also be made a few days in advance. It can be stored in an airtight container for up to two months, after which it becomes brittle. How is it attached? Place or stick the borders on cake surfaces or edges. A little food glue is recommended for fondant or chocolate. With royal icing, mirror glaze or even softer chocolate, lightly pressing down is sufficient. Not suitable for very moist surfaces such as whipped cream. For special color effects, the finished border can easily be sprayed with an airbrush. Use the silicone border mat to create harmonious fence motifs around small and large cakes.
