I was at a party supply store when I came across an old Wilton yearbook. I was in a hurry so I dont remember the details. I saw a technique in the book and I have not idea what it is called. The technique was putting a piece of laced fabric over fondant, you cover the fabric with royal icing, then you remove the fabric leavening a very neat design (looks just like the design on the fabric)
Does this make sense? Can anyone tell me what this is called?

Thanks icon_rolleyes.gif

if you mean using it as a stencil to have a raised pattern in royal icing, it is frequently referred to as bas relief. True bas relief art is when the background is carved away leaving the raised image, but the effect that you get from doing what you mentioned could also be referred to as such.

I didn't know there was a name for it. But would it be embossing? (Did I spell that correctly?) icon_wink.gif

Well, now that I think about it I guess it is like using the fabric as a stencil.
I like the word embossing, its sounds fancy.
Have any of you used this technique in your cakes? I would love to see pictures.

This is random, but that made me LOL. I *love* the word fancy, for no apparent reason, and love to use it as much as possible. It just makes me giggle!
