Noble silicone border mat for filigree lace decorations

Noble silicone border mat for delicate lace decorations

With a strip of delicate lace decoration, the cake is elegantly decorated in no time at all. Depending on the orientation, the border looks like a garland or an elaborate fence. What is it suitable for? For edible borders made from lace decorating pastes and similar sugar pastes, such as Cake Lace, which can be applied to cakes and cupcakes or attached to the edges. Matching lace decorating pastes are available in 11 colors. How is it used? Pour the paste onto the mat and smooth with a metal horn or angled spatula, making sure that there are no gaps; pour any excess paste back into the cup and seal well. Then place the entire mat in the oven for 15 minutes at 80-100 °C, carefully loosen at the edge and bake for a further 3-5 minutes if the decoration has not yet risen. Once the mixture is dry, peel it off completely and use immediately; the patterns remain soft and flexible for a long time, can be prepared days in advance and stored in airtight packaging for up to two months, but will become brittle later. A little food glue on fondant or chocolate is suitable for fixing; with royal icing, mirror glaze or soft chocolate, light pressure is sufficient. A very damp surface is not suitable; the borders would dissolve on whipped cream. You can also achieve beautiful color effects with the silicone border mat by lightly spraying the finished border with an airbrush - this creates new tones and gentle color gradients.
