Create the most elegant lace designs for your wedding cakes with the Floral Fern Cake Lace Mat.
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.
Design measures approximately 16" x 12"
This brand new Cake Lace comes pre-mixed and pre-coloured; all you need to do is apply this to your mat, following the instructions found below or on your tub.
The beauty of Cake Lace, once it has been made, is that it will stay moist and pliable for many months to allow you to create masterpieces that may take a period of time.
Q: How many sheets of Cake Lace can you make with 500g?
A: Depending on the design, you can achieve up-to 20-25 sheets.
Q: Does all the coloured Cake Lace dry stiffer than the standard white mix?
A: No, only the Pearlised White, Gold and Silver colours are stiff when dry, however, you can add white cake lace to the back of them and bake again in the oven to make them softer.
Q: Does the coloured Cake Lace stain the Cake Lace mats?
A: No it does not stain the mats.
Q: Can Cake Lace be applied to vanilla buttercream, ganache or swiss meringue buttercream?
A: Cake Lace can be applied to ganache and swiss meringue buttercream, however, we do not recommend applying to buttercream as this stays soft.
Q: Can I use Cake Lace on chocolate?
A: Yes, Cake Lace can be used on chocolate, some colours may need a tiny bit of edible glue to adhere.
To use 100g of pre-mixed Cake Lace:
1. Preheat your oven to 70-80°C.
2. Spread your Cake Lace mix onto the mat, using a Cake Lace Spreading Knife. Work the mix in all directions to ensure there is even coverage.
3. Remove any excess with the knife.
4. Place into your pre-heated oven for 8-10 minutes to dry your Cake Lace.
5. Remove from the oven and set aside for 5 minutes for the Cake Lace to cool.
6. 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, so place it back in the oven for another two minutes, and test again.
7. Place the dried Cake Lace face down onto a clean surface and using the spreading knife, release it from the mat.
8. To fix the Cake Lace onto your cake or cupcakes, paint a small amount of edible glue onto the back of the Cake Lace and press it gently onto the cake. Alternatively, if you are not ready to use the Cake Lace, wrap it in greaseproof paper until you are ready to use it.
Cake Lace will remain pliable for many months, transporting your cakes will be a breeze.
We recommend storing the finished Cake Lace in some greaseproof paper, wrapped closely. Then wrap that in foil, and store away from strong lights and odours.

Works better than the rest on the market never a problem
The Cake Decorating Co.Lovely product but not sure the consistency is quite right to make 3d shapes, unlike the white which was perfect. I got there eventually, but I needed to leave the green butterflies to air dry for ages, having baked them. Having said that the back up I received from the company was second to none.
