Can I use a regular plastic wall stencil to stencil a damask design onto BC or do I need to have a special cake one? TIA , April

I don't really see any problem using a regular stencil to use on your cake. Is not food safe and maybe is too flexible etc, but I don't really see any difference beside how good the material would be. I got one stencil that its mainly use is for paper, so it was really flexible so I could never use it, it didn't hold straight on the cake. I haven't use stencil on butter cream only on fondant, but i am pretty sure butter cream needs to get crusted or at least really firm, maybe a little bit frozen, so it wouldn't be hard to work on it

I use regular plastic ones at the craft store!

Thanks so much for the replies!! I figured it wouldnt be a problem if I let the buttercream crust over good first.. Will order away!
