About this item
Bring a little winter sparkle to your dessert table with the Snowflake Garland Cake Side Stencil. Decorative snowflake ornaments hang from delicate ribbons and bows, surrounded by scattered dots and diamond-shaped accents for a festive Christmas cake design.
Create white buttercream snowflakes against icy blue frosting, airbrush a contrasting garland onto fondant, or dust a snowy pattern across a chocolate dessert. Two layout options let you choose a compact cake-side accent or an extended arrangement for broader coverage.
Sizing & Design Options
Sheet dimensions include the thumb-holds. Design dimensions refer to the actual artwork.
| Stencil sheet | Design area | Suggested use |
|---|---|---|
| 4.5″ high × 8″ wide | 3.5″ high × 5.7″ wide | Three hanging snowflake ornaments for a focal point on a cake side or flat dessert top. |
| 4.5″ high × 16″ wide | 3.75″ high × 13″ wide | Extended ornament garland for wider cake-side coverage or a long decoration across a sheet cake. |
Select your preferred size when ordering. The larger option features additional snowflake ornaments rather than simply enlarging the compact design.
Cakes & Desserts to Decorate
- Round cake tiers: Curve the stencil against a smooth cake side to create a hanging ornament display. Choose a tier taller than the artwork, leaving room for borders.
- Square and rectangular cakes: Position the design on a sufficiently wide, flat face. Mask unused areas when working on a narrower side rather than bending detailed snowflakes around sharp corners.
- Sheet cakes: Arrange the garland across a smooth top, leaving space for a Christmas greeting or piped border.
- Chocolate cakes and brownie slabs: Dust powdered sugar onto a cooled, level surface for a snowy holiday finish before slicing.
- Cheesecakes and tiramisu: Use cocoa on a smooth, chilled top large enough for the selected arrangement.
Pair with our Snowflake Cake Top Stencil Trio for coordinating winter decorations on the top and sides of your cake. Cake-top stencils are sold separately.
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. Mask surrounding areas to control overspray.
- Powdered sugar or cocoa: Sift a light coating through the stencil onto a horizontal dessert top. Keep the stencil close without pressing into soft toppings, lift straight up, and decorate shortly before serving.
A single contrasting color highlights the fine ribbons and snowflake details. For multiple colors, mask selected sections and work in stages.
For Best Results
Start with a smooth, firm surface free of condensation. Apply your decorating medium lightly to preserve the narrow lines and small openings. Clean and dry the stencil between applications, and let icing designs firm up before repeating nearby. Plan the spacing before extending the garland around a cake.
