Decorating

I thought it would be useful to show you how to make an oversized bow topper and tails for a cake.  

The possibilities are endless.  Here are my tips for cutting, working and applying sugarveil to your cakes.

So you now have a sheet of Sugarveil and you want to use it on a cake.

Plan out your design, for simplicity I’m wrapping the collar of a cake with Sugarveil.

I promised you a Sugarveil how to back in June when I used it for my Sister’s Wedding Cake. So here it is….

Sugarveil is an edible icing product that starts out liquid and using a special mat you can form flexible edible sheets of icing lace in various designs.

Removing from the Mat

First up lay a sheet of non-stick baking paper just over twice the size of the mat on the worksurface.  I have done it directly onto the worktop which resulted in the sheet sticking to it like glue,  after all that hard work you don’t need that!
