Christmas Tree Cake Stencil Set by Designer Stencils

Bring a little Christmas magic to your dessert table with the Christmas Tree Cake Stencil Set by Designer Stencils. This two-piece set includes a large single tree and a smaller tree pair, giving you coordinating designs for festive cake sides, holiday cake tops, and seasonal desserts.

Make the large tree the centerpiece of your cake, arrange the smaller trees around a tier, or combine both sizes to create a Christmas forest. Choose buttercream or royal icing for raised detail, airbrushing for a smooth finish, or sifted powdered sugar or cocoa for flat dessert tops.

Sizing & What’s Included

Includes two separate stencil sheets:

• Large single tree artwork: 4″ high × 4″ wide.
• Large stencil sheet, including tabs: 6⅞″ high × 8⅝″ wide.
• Small double-tree artwork: 2″ high × 5″ wide for the complete pair.
• Small stencil sheet, including tab: 3⅞″ high × 8¾″ wide.

Artwork dimensions describe the finished design area; sheet dimensions include the surrounding stencil material and tabs.

Choosing Your Cake or Dessert

• Large tree: Use on a smooth cake tier taller than 4″, leaving additional room for borders. It also makes a focal point on a sheet cake or a sufficiently large, flat round cake top.
• Small tree pair: The shorter, 2″ design suits shallower tiers and repeating Christmas tree borders. Allow at least 5″ of decorating width for the complete pair.
• Square and rectangular cakes: Position each impression on a flat face rather than across a sharp corner.
• Brownies and other dessert tops: Decorate a cooled, uncut brownie slab or level cake before slicing. Choose a surface larger than the selected artwork.

Check the usable decorating area, including space for borders, before selecting your placement.

Decorating Options

• Buttercream: Spread a thin, even layer of smooth, stencil-consistency buttercream through the openings onto a firmly chilled buttercream cake. Try white trees against blue frosting or green trees against ivory.
• Royal icing: Create raised designs on firm, dry fondant or fully set royal icing using a smooth, spreadable consistency that holds its shape.
• Airbrushing: Apply food-safe airbrush color in light passes over smooth fondant or firm, dry buttercream. Keep the stencil close to the surface and mask surrounding areas to prevent overspray.
• Powdered sugar: Add snowy trees to cooled chocolate cakes or brownie slabs with a light dusting through the stencil.
• Cocoa powder: Create contrasting trees on a smooth, chilled cheesecake or another pale, level dessert surface.

Use sifted powders on horizontal tops rather than cake sides. Lift the stencil straight up after dusting and decorate shortly before serving for the clearest presentation.

For Best Results: Start with a smooth, firm decorating surface and hold the stencil close against it. Apply icing, airbrush color, or sifted powders lightly to preserve the details. Clean and dry the stencil between applications, and allow icing designs to set before repeating nearby.
