Create the most elegant lace designs for your wedding cakes with the Floral Fern Cake Lace Mat.
Product Description
Originally created for the ‘Wedding Gowns Through the Ages’ feature at Cake International, this exquisite cake lace mat is a one of a kind design.
Overall the design forms a 3D corded lace effect on a mesh lattice background. Featuring a floral lace design that incorporates a number of flowers, ferns and leaves interspersed within it, you can use it to cover a tier with one continuous pattern, or cut out certain parts of the design to create individual decorations. You could even use the smaller pieces to decorate cupcakes, cookies and smaller baked treats.
The design is particularly suited for high class wedding cakes or for occasions that require supreme elegance. The mat is versatile and although it features a period design, it is great for use with both vintage as well as modern design cakes.
The Floral Fern Cake Lace Mat can also be used as an impression mat.
Use this silicone mat with Cake Lace mixes to apply edible lace to your cakes for a wide variety of occasions including birthdays, anniversaries and other celebrations! You attach Cake Lace by brushing a tiny amount of water onto your sugarpaste, and gently press your Cake Lace onto this.
Try colouring your white Cake Lace mix to achieve the looks of the some of the sample cakes you can see in the images. You can colour Cake Lace with Cake Lace lustre dusts or gel colours, Cake Lace recommend using Pro Gels.
Cake Lace mats are made from the highest quality food grade silicone. They are made to a specific thickness allowing you to create 3D lace with depth and dimension that is the thickness of real lace and just as intricate.
Cake Lace is so easy to use! Simply make to the manufacturer's instructions, spread onto the mat and place in the oven at 80°C.

Instructions:
To make 90g of Cake Lace (which will cover one large Cake Lace mat):
1. Preheat your oven to 70 - 80°C.
2. Place 40ml of water into the bowl of your food mixer.
3. Add 42g (approx. 4 tablespoons) of Part A powder.
4. Mix on high for two minutes.
5. Add 2.5ml (approx. 1/2 teaspoon) of Part B liquid.
6. Mix on high for 4-6 minutes until Cake Lace looks smooth.
7. Spread some of the Cake Lace onto your chosen mat using a Cake Lace spreading knife. Work the mixture in all directions to ensure that there is an even coverage. Remove any excess with the spreading knife.
8. Place into your pre-heated oven for 15-20 minutes to dry the Cake Lace.
9. Remove from the oven and set aside for 5 minutes for the Cake Lace to cool.
10. Check that the Cake Lace is ready by peeling the edge of the Cake Lace from the mat. It should release easily. If it does not, the Cake Lace is not dry yet, so place it back in the oven for another 4 minutes, and then test again
11. Place the dried Cake Lace face down onto a clean surface and, using the Cake Lace spreading knife, release it from the mat. Cake Lace can be air dried and will take between 6-8 hours.
12. To fix the Cake Lace to your cake, brush a little cooled, boiled water straight onto your sugarpaste covered cake and then press the Cake Lace gently onto the cake.
You will have a small amount of the Part B liquid left over, you can optionally use this to create a softer lace.
Cake Lace will remain pliable for many months, transporting your cakes will be a breeze.
Cake Lace can be coloured using powder or gel pastes to achieve pastel colours. Airbrush or spray to achieve dark colours.
We recommend storing the finished Cake Lace in some grease-proof paper, wrapped closely. Then wrap that in foil, and store away from strong lights and odours.
