Tips for Stenciling the Tops of Cakes With Buttercream:

• Stenciling on a buttercream cake is easy, but your surface icing needs to be DRY. Let it set up overnight or put in fridge for about 15 minutes prior to stenciling.
• Use a creamy consistency of buttercream and an icing spreader or offset spatula to spread a thin layer over the stencil, being gentle when going around the cake to prevent accidents on what you have already stenciled.
• Gently pull off stencil and "voila" you have successfully stenciled the top of a cake!

Tips for Stenciling the Tops of Cakes With Powdered Sugar or Cocoa Powder:

• Build a layer cake or a single layer of cake and leave it un-iced. Place cake on a plate or cake stand. 
• Place the stencil on top and press lightly, especially on thinner lines. Anything OPEN will be dusted in the sugar or cocoa powder. Using a sifter, add a couple spoonful's of powdered sugar/cocoa. Sift a little bit at a time straight over the top of the stencil, moving around so that it does not build up in one spot.
• Carefully pick up the stencil (do not tilt) and move over to your sink to dump the sugar buildup. Now your cake is stenciled.
