Snowflake Cake Stencil Side by Designer Stencils

Bring a fresh snowfall to your holiday baking with the Snowflake Cake Side Stencil by Designer Stencils. Six snowflakes in assorted sizes and styles create a wintry arrangement for Christmas cakes, winter birthdays, and seasonal dessert tables.

Stencil white buttercream snowflakes onto a blue cake, airbrush a contrasting pattern onto fondant, or sift cocoa across a creamy tiramisu. The versatile rectangular layout works along smooth cake sides and across flat dessert tops.

Sizing & Details

• Complete design: 2½″ high × 7½″ wide.
• Stencil sheet, including tab: 3¾″ high × 10″ wide.
• Includes one stencil sheet featuring six assorted snowflakes.

The design dimensions describe the complete snowflake arrangement, not each individual snowflake. Allow additional decorating space for borders and other embellishments.

Cakes & Desserts to Decorate

• Round cake sides: Curve the stencil around a smooth tier taller than 2½″, allowing room above and below the design. Repeat as needed to extend the snowfall around the cake.
• Square and rectangular cakes: Position the arrangement on a sufficiently wide, flat face. Mask unused snowflakes for shorter sections rather than wrapping detailed artwork across sharp corners.
• Sheet cakes: Add a snowflake band across a smooth top, leaving space for a holiday greeting or piped border.
• Tiramisu: Dust cocoa through the stencil over a smooth, chilled mascarpone layer for brown snowflakes against a creamy background. Keep the stencil close without pressing into the topping.
• Chocolate cakes and brownie slabs: Sift powdered sugar onto a cooled, level surface before slicing.
• Cheesecakes: Decorate a smooth, chilled top with cocoa, choosing a surface large enough for the full arrangement or masking selected snowflakes.

Decorating Options

• Buttercream: Create raised snowflakes with a thin layer of smooth, stencil-consistency buttercream over a firmly chilled buttercream cake.
• Royal icing: Add defined, textured details to firm, dry fondant or fully set royal icing using a smooth, spreadable stenciling consistency.
• Airbrushing: Apply food-safe airbrush color in light passes over smooth fondant or firm, dry buttercream. Hold the stencil close and protect surrounding areas from overspray.
• Powdered sugar or cocoa: Sift a light, even coating onto a horizontal dessert top. Lift the stencil straight up without sliding and decorate shortly before serving to help preserve the pattern.

Use the full arrangement for a snowy border, or mask neighboring openings to feature selected snowflakes.

For Best Results

Start with a smooth, firm surface free of condensation. Apply your decorating medium lightly to preserve the fine snowflake branches. Clean and dry the stencil between applications, and allow icing designs to firm up before repeating nearby. Plan the spacing before extending the pattern around a cake.
