Ophelia silicone mat for intricate borders

Ophelia silicone mat for intricate borders

This flexible silicone mat forms intricate borders with motifs ranging from small turrets and elegant fences to festive banners. With the Ophelia silicone border mat, you can decorate cake borders in no time at all and add an elegant touch to cakes or tarts. What is it suitable for? For borders and decorations that are to be applied or glued on. How is it used? Spread a suitable lace decorating paste (e.g. Cake Lace) evenly with a metal horn or angled spatula and remove any excess. Then bake for 15 minutes at 80-100 °C, carefully loosen the solid paste at the edge and dry for 3-5 minutes if necessary. After drying, remove the lace band completely; it remains soft and flexible for a long time and can be made several days in advance. It can be stored in an airtight container for up to two months, after which it becomes brittle. To apply, use a little food glue on fondant or chocolate; for royal icing, mirror glaze or chocolate that is still soft, simply press it on lightly. The border is not suitable for very moist surfaces such as whipped cream. The Ophelia silicone border mat can also be used with an airbrush to create subtle shades and soft color gradients.
