Vintage Bows silicone decor mat

Vintage Bows silicone decor mat

Fine borders, bows and stripes are created in no time at all and give cakes an elegant gift look. Use the silicone decorating mat to create short sections around the edge, vertical stripes or complete bows with two or four ribbons. How is it used? Apply a suitable lace decorating paste, smooth the mixture with a metal spatula or angled spatula and bake the filled mat for approx. 15 minutes at 80-100 degrees. If the edges still do not come away, extend the drying time by 3-5 minutes and then remove the flexible decoration completely. The mat provides dimensionally stable yet flexible patterns that can be used immediately or stored in airtight packaging for up to two months; they become brittle over time. What is the result suitable for? Use a little food glue to attach the decorations to fondant or chocolate; with royal icing, mirror glaze or chocolate that is still soft, simply press them on lightly. Moist substrates such as whipped cream are unsuitable as the borders will dissolve. For special color effects, the finished patterns can be lightly sprayed with an airbrush; as an alternative to colored lace decor pastes, Cake Lace, for example, can be used.
