Cake Decorating Community - Cakes We Bake

Hi everyone,

 

I wanted to add some lace appliques to the wedding cake for december, but the lace molds are so expensive, i have an idea to use rubber stamps.  I ran my fondant through the pasta machine at a thin setting, cut out a shape with floral cutters then pressed the stamp in that shape and it look like lace( i used a lace printed stamp of course).  Has anyone ever done this before? I know that there is a website about making your own lace, but i really dont wanna spend the money, if anyone has any other ideas please feel free to comment.

 

thanks

Monica, did you not take a photo of what you made so that we could see how this turned out??
hi,
i actually saw Ron Ben Israel do it on youtube, he even made his own stemp, but that's the way he did the lace.
turned out very pretty
Michalkova Anna, What language is this? Can it be translated into English?

i had practiced on a dummy cake, took the pic and cleaned the dummy, later when i got around to lookin at the pic, it didnt come out very clear, i do some pieces in white with a darker background and upload it.

There is a great technique that you can use which is much easier and almost costs you nothing. Buy some "real" lace and lay your fondant over it, (using powdered sugar as usual to prevent sticking) and use your fondant roller to imprint the lace onto the fondant. You then jus ttrim the nonlace area away and tadda....lace!

Hope this works for you.

I have used plastic lace place mats to make lace. I then cut the edges with border cutters.
