Cake Lace Mix

Our cake lace mixture can be made from start to finish in 30 minutes by popping it in the oven. Once made, it stays moist and pliable for many months when stored correctly. Alternatively, choose ready-made cake lace to apply directly to your cakes for an exquisite texture decoration.

How to use cake lace mats

To make cake lace, you will need a cake lace mat.

1. First, prepare the cake lace mix by following the instructions on the packaging to get the right consistency. This usually involves adding cooled boiled water to the cake lace mix, so it's smooth and spreadable but not runny.
2. Use a spatula to spread the cake lace mix over the mat, pressing gently to ensure it gets into all the intricate details. Then, scrape off any excess.
3. Now dry the cake lace according to the packet instructions. You can let it air-dry or oven-dry it, but still be flexible.
4. Remove the lace from the mat by gently lifting it from one corner and peeling it away. Be slow and gentle to prevent tearing.
5. Attach the edible cake lace to fondant or buttercream icing. If your cake is covered in fondant icing, you need some edible glue or water to make it stick.

How to store cake lace once made

Stored correctly, edible lace for cakes can last for months.

• Allow it to fully dry so it doesn't stick or become brittle.
• Then, place it between parchment sheets or wax paper to keep it from sticking together and protect its delicate structure.
• Store in a flat, airtight container to keep out moisture and avoid bending and creasing the intricate designs.
• Keep the container in a cold, dry spot away from direct heat or sunlight, as warmth can make the edible cake lace soft or sticky.
