About this item
Bring the beauty of ice crystals to your holiday baking with the Crystal Snowflake Cake Top Stencil Trio by Designer Stencils. Three distinct snowflakes feature sharp points, geometric shapes, and intricate angular details for Christmas cakes, winter celebrations, and snowy dessert displays.
Create three coordinating chocolate cakes with powdered sugar snowflakes, add raised buttercream detail to a winter birthday cake, or dust cocoa onto a creamy dessert. Each snowflake comes on its own round stencil sheet, giving you three complete designs to use individually.
Sizing & What’s Included
-
Snowflake artwork: approximately 5⅜″ across.
-
Stencil sheet size: 6¾″.
-
Includes three separate round stencil sheets, each featuring a different crystal snowflake.
These are individual designs rather than layering overlays. Artwork measurements refer to the snowflakes, not the stencil sheets or finished desserts.
Cakes & Desserts to Decorate
-
Small round cakes: Center a snowflake on a 6″ cake with a full, flat decorating surface. Choose a larger cake when adding a generous piped border.
-
Chocolate cakes and tortes: Decorate three separate cakes with powdered sugar to showcase every design in a coordinated holiday display.
-
Cheesecakes: Sift cocoa onto a smooth, chilled top for a contrasting crystal snowflake.
-
Trifles: Dust cocoa over a smooth, chilled cream topping. Hold the stencil just above the surface without pressing into the cream, and ensure the bowl’s rim does not leave a large gap beneath the stencil.
-
Pies: Choose a cooled pie with a firm, level surface large enough for the complete design. Avoid lattice crusts, domed tops, and loose toppings.
-
Sheet cakes and brownie slabs: Use one snowflake as a focal point or arrange separate impressions where space allows.
Decorating Options
-
Buttercream: Spread a thin layer of smooth, stencil-consistency buttercream through the openings onto a firmly chilled buttercream cake for raised detail.
-
Royal icing: Create defined patterns on firm, dry fondant or fully set royal icing using a smooth, spreadable stenciling consistency.
-
Airbrushing: Apply food-safe airbrush color in light passes over smooth fondant or firm, dry buttercream. Keep the stencil close to the surface and protect surrounding areas from overspray.
-
Powdered sugar or cocoa: Sift a light, even coating over a level dessert top, then lift the stencil straight up without sliding. Decorate shortly before serving to help preserve the pattern.
Powdered sugar creates snowy white designs on dark desserts, while cocoa stands out against pale cheesecake or cream toppings. On moist surfaces, powdered sugar may dissolve quickly.
For Best Results
Use a smooth, level surface and apply your decorating medium lightly to preserve the narrow spaces between the geometric details. For iced cakes, start with a firm surface free of condensation. Avoid pressing into soft toppings, and clean and dry the stencil between applications.
