Mandala silicone border mat

Mandala silicone border mat

Filigree mandala motifs give cakes and pastries an elegant lace look in no time at all. What is the mat suitable for? The floral borders can be placed on top or draped over the edge, look elegant on their own and can also be combined with other decorations. The Mandala silicone decorating mat creates playful, elegant floral and arched patterns that enhance any cake. How is it used? Apply a thin layer of a suitable sugar paste such as Lace Decorating Paste (available in 11 colors) or Cake Lace, for example, smooth it out with a metal horn or angled spatula and close any gaps. Return any excess to the cup. Bake the filled mat for 15 minutes at 80-100 degrees, carefully loosen the edges; if necessary, leave to dry for a further 3-5 minutes. Once the mixture has dried through, it can be removed completely and used immediately. The patterns remain soft and pliable for a long time, can be made a few days in advance and stored in airtight packaging for up to two months; later they will become brittle. To attach the decorations, place them on cake surfaces or attach them to the edges: With a little food glue, they will stick to fondant or chocolate; with royal icing, mirror glaze or chocolate that is still soft, lightly pressing on is sufficient. Not suitable for very moist surfaces such as whipped cream. For special color effects, the border can be lightly airbrushed to create new shades or gentle gradients. With the Mandala silicone decorating mat, you can create finely finished borders for professional results.
