Hi everyone,

This might be a stupid question but I bought a couple of plastic chocolate collars with a textured pattern on them (flowers, shells etc ) now from the instructions I have read on choc wraps etc you need to make the collar very close to the size of the cake but I am hesitant to cut them because once I do I wouldn't be able to use them for a larger cake.

Does anyone else have any of these and how do you handle this do you just need to bite the bullet and say I am only going to use these for example on an 8" and cut it to size or is there a way they can be used without cutting them?

TIA

I am guessing that they were referrring to the width not the length of the strips. It is easy to overlap the length for what ever size around. It is not so easy if the wrap extends up over the top of the cake.

If you cake is 4 inches tall, after stacking etc, you would want the wrap four inches wide. Make sense?

It isn't always necessary to cut the strips exactly. You can improvise.

Thanks for the reply JoAnnB, I'm a bit confused though, how it would work? if it was overlapped how would it make a neat join and stay in place in place while it set?

Any further info you could provide would be greatly appreciated icon_smile.gif
