Silicone border mat waves

Silicone border mat waves

The subtle wave pattern is easy to combine and creates an elegant, simple border on cakes and pastries. What is this pattern suitable for? For all kinds of creations, whether elaborate, simple or large, and for almost any decoration. How is it used? Apply a suitable sugar paste (Spitzen Dekor Paste in 11 colors or alternatively Cake Lace, Tricot, Magic Decor or Sugarveil) evenly and smooth it out with a metal horn or angled spatula. Take care not to leave any gaps and return any excess paste to the cup. Bake the entire mat for 15 minutes at 80 to 100 degrees and check around the edge to see if the set paste can be loosened; if not, leave it in the oven for another 3-5 minutes. Loosen the dried border completely and use it directly. The patterns remain 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. They will become brittle over time. To use on cakes, place or stick the decorations to the edge. Use food glue on fondant, Massa Ticino or chocolate; on royal icing, mirror glaze or even softer chocolate, lightly press on. Substrates with a high moisture content, such as whipped cream, are not suitable. For special effects, the finished border can be lightly sprayed with an airbrush to create new shades or gentle color gradients. The silicone border mat enables simple, clean results. With the silicone border mat, you can create an elegant border in no time at all.
