About this item

Dress your Christmas cakes in festive florals with our Holiday Poinsettia Cake Side Stencil. The poinsettia swag creates a seasonal focal point on a cake tier or a decorative border when repeated around the sides.

Choose from two sizes for your holiday baking project. Try a red buttercream design on an ivory cake, white poinsettias against a green background, or a delicate powdered sugar accent on a chocolate dessert.

Sizing & Design Options

Option Stencil Sheet Size Design Size
Small 4.5″ h × 8″ w 3.3″ h × 6″ w
Large 4.5″ h × 16″ w 3.7″ h × 11.7″ w

Sheet measurements include thumb-holds. Each size is sold separately.

Choose the smaller stencil for a compact floral accent or shorter decorating area. The larger option covers a wider section in one placement and requires slightly more cake height. Allow extra space above and below the artwork for piped borders.

These are rectangular cake side stencils. They can also decorate flat dessert tops with enough room for the selected design.

Cakes & Desserts to Decorate

  • Round Christmas cakes: Create a poinsettia focal point on the front or repeat the swag around a tier.
  • Square and rectangular cakes: Decorate one flat face at a time, keeping the design clear of sharp corners.
  • Tiered holiday cakes: Coordinate poinsettia accents across tiers, choosing the stencil size that fits each decorating area.
  • Sheet cakes: Position the swag along an edge or beneath a Christmas message.
  • Brownie slabs and chocolate cakes: Dust powdered sugar through the stencil on a flat, cooled top.
  • Rectangular cheesecakes: Add a light cocoa design to a smooth, level surface shortly before serving.

Decorating Options

  • Buttercream: Apply a thin, even layer of smooth, stencil-consistency buttercream over a firmly chilled buttercream cake for a raised floral design.
  • Royal icing: Use smooth, spreadable royal icing over dry fondant or fully set royal icing for defined details.
  • Airbrushing: Apply edible airbrush color in light passes over smooth fondant or firm, dry buttercream. Keep the stencil close to the surface to reduce overspray.
  • Powdered sugar or cocoa: Use the stencil flat on a horizontal dessert top. Sift lightly and lift straight up without sliding. This method is best suited to dessert tops rather than cake sides.

For Best Results

Begin with a smooth, firm surface free of condensation. Apply your decorating medium thinly to preserve the details, and gently peel the stencil away from cake sides. When repeating the swag, let the previous section set before positioning the stencil nearby. Clean and dry the stencil between applications.

A single contrasting color is the simplest way to showcase the poinsettia pattern. For multiple colors, mask neighboring openings and work in stages, allowing each application to set before working nearby.
