About this item
Create a coordinated Christmas cake with our Holiday Poinsettia 3 Piece Cake Stencil Set. Featuring festive poinsettia designs, this reusable set includes two rectangular cake side stencils and one cake top stencil for decorating a complete cake or a collection of holiday desserts.
Combine the top and side designs for a floral centerpiece, or use each stencil separately. Try red poinsettias against ivory buttercream, white designs on a green cake, or powdered sugar florals on a rich chocolate dessert.
Sizing & Design Options
| Included Stencil | Stencil Sheet Size | Design Size |
|---|---|---|
| Small cake side | 4.5″ h × 8″ w | 3.5″ h × 5.7″ w |
| Large cake side | 4.5″ h × 16″ w | 3.75″ h × 13″ w |
| Cake top | 8″ h × 9¾″ w | 6¼″ h × 7⅛″ w |
All three stencils are included. Sheet measurements describe the stencil material; design measurements describe the artwork transferred to your dessert.
Use the smaller side stencil for a shorter accent and the larger stencil for a wider arrangement. Allow extra cake height above and below the side designs for borders. For the top stencil, measure the full usable surface rather than relying only on the cake’s pan size, especially when adding piped decorations.
Cakes & Desserts to Decorate
- Round Christmas cakes: Pair a poinsettia top with coordinating side accents.
- Tiered holiday cakes: Use the two side stencils on tiers with enough clear height for their respective designs.
- Square and rectangular cakes: Decorate each flat side separately, keeping the stencil clear of sharp corners.
- Sheet cakes: Use the top design as a floral focal point or a side stencil as an accent beneath a holiday message.
- Chocolate cakes and brownie slabs: Dust powdered sugar through a design that fits the flat, cooled surface.
- Cheesecakes: Add a light cocoa poinsettia design to a smooth, level top shortly before serving.
Decorating Options
- Buttercream: Spread a thin, even layer of smooth, stencil-consistency buttercream through the openings onto a firmly chilled buttercream cake.
- Royal icing: Apply smooth, spreadable royal icing over dry fondant or fully set royal icing for raised floral details.
- Airbrushing: Use edible airbrush color in light passes over smooth fondant or firm, dry buttercream. Keep the stencil close to the surface to help preserve the pattern.
- Powdered sugar or cocoa: Use any of the stencils flat on a sufficiently large, horizontal dessert top. Sift lightly and lift straight up without sliding.
For Best Results
Start with a smooth, firm surface free of condensation. Apply your decorating medium thinly and let each section set before positioning the stencil nearby. Gently peel the stencil from cake sides; lift straight up from dessert tops. Clean and dry between applications, and add powdered sugar or cocoa designs shortly before serving.
A single contrasting color showcases the poinsettia details with fewer decorating steps. For multiple colors, mask neighboring openings and work in stages. The three pieces are coordinating designs, rather than separate color overlays.
