Decorative Merry Christmas Cake Stencil by Designer Stencils

Add a beautifully scripted holiday greeting to your Christmas desserts with the Decorative Merry Christmas Cake Stencil by Designer Stencils. Flowing lettering and ornamental flourishes create an elegant focal point for Christmas cakes, holiday sheet cakes, and festive dessert displays.

Designed for cake sides, this reusable Merry Christmas stencil also works on flat cake tops and other desserts with enough room for its 3″ high × 5½″ wide message. Choose raised buttercream lettering, a smooth airbrushed finish, or a delicate dusting of powdered sugar or cocoa to complement your holiday baking.

Sizing & Placement

• Message design: 3″ high × 5½″ wide.
• Stencil sheet, including tab: 3¾″ high × 8⅛″ wide.
• Cake sides: Suitable for smooth round, square, and rectangular cake tiers. Choose a tier taller than the 3″ design to leave space above and below the lettering, especially when adding piped borders.
• Cake tops: Use on sheet cakes, rectangular cakes, or sufficiently large round cakes with a clear, level decorating area. Allow extra room around the message for borders and other decorations.

Dimensions refer to the artwork and stencil sheet separately. Check your available decorating space before choosing your dessert.

Ways to Decorate

• Buttercream: Create raised lettering with a thin layer of smooth, stencil-consistency buttercream over a firmly chilled buttercream cake. Hold the stencil snugly against the surface and remove it carefully to preserve the delicate flourishes.
• Royal icing: Stencil onto firm, dry fondant or fully set royal icing using a smooth, spreadable consistency that holds its shape.
• Airbrushing: Add a flat layer of color to smooth fondant or firm, dry buttercream using food-safe airbrush color. Apply light passes with the stencil held close to the surface, and mask the surrounding dessert to protect it from overspray.
• Powdered sugar or cocoa: Lay the stencil flat over a cooled, level dessert and sift a light coating through the openings. Lift straight up and decorate shortly before serving for the clearest presentation. Powdered sugar and cocoa are best suited to horizontal surfaces.

Holiday Dessert Ideas

Create red buttercream lettering on an ivory Christmas cake, dust a cooled slab of chocolate brownies with powdered sugar before slicing, or add a cocoa greeting to a smooth, chilled cheesecake. For brownies and cheesecakes, choose a surface large enough to accommodate the complete message.

The flowing script makes a striking focal point in one color. For multiple colors, mask selected areas and work in stages. If repeating the message around a cake, leave space between impressions and allow each application to set before repositioning.
