[jrstephens]

How the heck do you use these things?! They were in the Sample Package I ordered and i have NO CLUE about them. Does not look like anything I will eve use. I need some tips ladies!

Does anyone want to buy them?

They make great plate art. Put them on Simple Additions plates and brush corn syrup over them filling the open areas completely. Lift straight up and pour colored sugar over the corn syrup to make a pretty design.

That is how they did it with cinnamon in the mini catalog - love it!!!

You can also lay the stencil over a cake (plain or with frosting) and sprinkle powdered sugar, colored sugar, sprinkles, cocoa, etc.

Here's my question...it says on the use and care card to let the frosting on the cake set up first, so it is hard, so that the stencil will not stick to the frosting, but if the frosting is hard how will the powdered sugar or cocoa stick??

SO, I ice my cake as I normally would then lay the stencil over it and sprinkle to get the design to show up? This is using just regular icing out of the can. How does it not pull the icing up when I lift the stencils?

My mom owns a Dairy Queen and my sister runs it. Anyway, she borrowed them from me to put on ice cream cakes. I can't wait to see it. Maybe I will make my own ice cream cake to use them with.

Ice cream sandwich torte.... that is, if you can't share the ooey gooey fudge that is in the center of a DQ ice cream cake!!

Tip #1: Fold the little tabs on the side up so you can grip them to pull your stencil straight up.

Tip #2: Lay your stencil on the frosting gently. It shouldn't stick too bad, even if it's just been frosted. The material it's made from doesn't stick badly.

I guess I am going to have to get my cake pans out of the box and the stencils out of the box and bake a D@RN cake!!!

If you're more of a cornbread kind of gal, you can do the same thing with chili powder.

The hearts would be cute for a Valentine's cake!!

I want to try the small hearts to make cupcakes for my class Valentine's Day party! I'm a little skeptical about them but we'll see!!

 

[mom2leelee]

i used mine to decorte the lemon torte I made. They stuck but it was a filling not icing so I can understand that. I really liked them.

 

[speedychef]

you could spray the underside of the stencil with your Kitchen Spritzer (one of our best products, if I do say so) and then maybe it wouldn't stick to the frosting...I don't know...I'm not a huge fan of these, either

I am hoping to use these stencils tonight for a valentine's day cake for my daughter - I am also concerned about the stencils sticking to the icing - also wondering which side is the up side (one side is duller than the other). Any suggestions?

At the training we had Feb 3rd, there was a lady that used these to make cards and scrapbooking pages. She had them all displayed on a tri-fold foam board. Very good idea to pass on as extra uses for these!

I just watched my Spring into Success DVD and they had some great ideas and use and care tips for the stencils on there.
