Ways to Use the Turkey Stencil

• Pumpkin pie: Sift powdered sugar over the cooled pie for a crisp white design.
• Apple pie: Add a cinnamon-sugar turkey to the top crust before baking.
• Pumpkin cheesecake: Dust the chilled surface with cocoa powder.
• Frosted cake: Apply a contrasting layer of buttercream or use an airbrush.
• Round sourdough loaf: Sift flour through the stencil onto proofed dough before baking.

Tips for Applying the Design

• Powdered sugar, cocoa, or flour: Place the stencil flat against a cool, level surface. Sift a little at a time, then lift the stencil straight up.
• Cinnamon sugar on pie crust: Brush the unbaked crust lightly with egg wash, sift on a thin layer of cinnamon sugar through the stencil, then lift the stencil before baking. Keep the pie’s steam vents clear.
• Sourdough: Set the stencil on the proofed dough, sift flour evenly through it, and remove the stencil before scoring or baking.
• Buttercream: Let the frosting set first. Spread on a thin layer of buttercream with an icing spreader or offset spatula, then lift the stencil gently.
• Airbrush color: Hold the stencil close to the surface and apply food-safe color in light, even passes.
• Never put the stencil in the oven.
