Silicone border mat butterfly

Create intricate borders with flowers and butterflies for professional cake decorations in no time at all. The border mat allows you to elegantly decorate the edge of the cake with just one strip; often even a single flower is enough to catch the eye. What is it suitable for? For edible lace borders made from a suitable sugar paste such as Lace Decorating Paste in 11 colors or Cake Lace, for example. How is it used? Apply the paste, smooth with a metal horn or angled spatula, avoiding gaps; return any excess to the cup. Then bake the mat for 15 minutes at 80-100 °C, loosen the edge as a test and dry for a further 3-5 minutes if necessary. Once the mixture is completely dry, it is easy to peel off, remains soft and flexible for a long time and can be made several days in advance. The decorations can be stored in airtight packaging for up to two months; later they become brittle. Food glue is suitable for applying to fondant or chocolate; lightly pressing onto royal icing, mirror glaze or even softer chocolate is sufficient. Not suitable for very moist surfaces such as whipped cream, as the tips will otherwise dissolve. For color effects, the borders can be lightly sprayed with an airbrush to create new shades and soft gradients. With the silicone border mat, intricate patterns can be created efficiently and evenly, even in large quantities.
