Poinsettia Cake Stencil Top Trio by Designer Stencils

Make Christmas desserts bloom with the Poinsettia Cake Top Stencil Trio by Designer Stencils. This three-piece set includes large, medium, and small poinsettia flower stencils, each cut on a separate round sheet.

Create a raised buttercream poinsettia on a Christmas cake, airbrush a festive floral accent onto fondant, or finish a chocolate torte with powdered sugar. The three flower sizes let you coordinate a holiday dessert table without using the same-sized decoration on every treat.

Sizing & Design Options

All three stencils are included.

Design measurements refer to the flower itself, not the stencil sheet or recommended cake diameter. Measure the flat, usable decorating surface and allow space around the petals for borders or additional decorations. The stencil sheet may extend beyond the dessert, provided the full design fits and the sheet can be held level and close to the surface.

Cakes & Desserts to Decorate

• Christmas cakes: Center a poinsettia on a smooth cake top, choosing the flower size that leaves your preferred border space.
• Chocolate cakes and tortes: Use powdered sugar to create a contrasting floral centerpiece.
• Cheesecakes: Sift cocoa over a smooth, chilled top shortly before serving.
• Holiday pies: Decorate a cooled pie with a firm, flat, unobstructed surface. Domed crusts, lattice, and loose toppings make fine details harder to reproduce.
• Smaller cakes and individual desserts: Use the small flower where there is enough flat space for its nearly 3¾″ design.
• Sheet cakes and brownie slabs: Add one flower as a focal point or arrange several separate poinsettias across a larger surface.

Decorating Options

• Buttercream: Spread a thin, even layer of smooth, stencil-consistency buttercream through the openings onto a firmly chilled buttercream cake.
• Royal icing: Create raised floral details on dry fondant or fully set royal icing using a smooth, spreadable stenciling consistency.
• Airbrushing: Apply edible airbrush color in light passes over smooth fondant or firm, dry buttercream.
• Powdered sugar or cocoa: Sift a light, even coating over the stencil on a level dessert top, then lift straight up without sliding.

Try red poinsettias on ivory buttercream, white flowers on a green cake, or powdered sugar against dark chocolate. A single contrasting color showcases the flower shape beautifully. For a different-colored center, mask the surrounding openings and work in stages, or add a piped center after removing the stencil.

For Best Results

Begin with a smooth, firm surface free of condensation. Keep the stencil close to the dessert without pressing into soft icing or toppings. Apply your decorating medium lightly, then lift the stencil carefully. Clean and dry between applications, and add powdered sugar or cocoa designs shortly before serving.
