Hi all
just wondering if anybody recognises this design. I assume they are made by cutters, but can anyone shed some light on which cutters they might be, or where i might purchase them from?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
regards
bakerchick
That's so funny! I just posted a question about cutters on a different cake!
I don't know if they're using cutters...that might be stenciling work...
thanks for the quick replies - how do i stencil? i hvae never done this before. can i buy templates? and what do i use to apply the pattern?
thanks again everyone

They are stencils. What it appears this person as done is, colored royal icing black, then place the stencil up against the cake then with a spatula, spread the icing over the design on the stencil, then carefully lift the stencil off the cake and wahlah. There is your design. You know, what you could do also is, if you have a really sharp blade and a good hand, you can take this design and blow it up and print it out then use that as your template using cardboard or whatever as your template. I cant cut that good, I wish i could. Good Luck
here is a good viedo that tells how to stencil on buttercream http://www.designerstencils.com/Videos/ButterCream/ButterCream.html

It's actually "voila"
Anyway...bakerchick, there is a Sugar Teachers Blog that I am a part of if you'd like to take a look at it: http://sugarteachers.blogspot.com and I put up a tutorial on my Damask Wedding Cake (I made my own wedding cake & did another for a recent wedding expo) using stencils.
Hope that helps!
thank you, thank you, thank you. I am so relieved to have an answer.
mom2spunkynbug, thanks for the link, i'm on it. I would never have guessed it was a stencil, i've never heard of stencils for cakes! goes to show how much i know! - not!!!!!
thanks again everyone
"It's actually "voila" "
Sorry grew up in th da GHETTO not very edjumacated.
It's actually "voila"
If we're going to get technical, it's voilà. 
Though, I must say, I love the variations of that word on this web site. It's amazing how creative some people can be.
Vocabulary lesson over!
The cakes on the blog are beautiful. And that stenciling video is so cool! Is it regular consistency BC that she used of had it been thinned?

IN regards to making your own template i use ice cream container lids as it is plastic, flexible and washable if that helps... good luck cant wait to see a pic of your version of the cake... good luck
Thanks so much for the link to your blog site. Beautiful cakes! Just beautiful! Enjoy viewing them.
Ariginal, how do you cut the design? That's such a great idea.
justgale Thanks so much for that video, that was so easy I never thought that's how easy it would be. I thought it took countless hours of piping to get something like that. Thanks a bunch!
If you plan on doing alot of stenciling, you might want to check out electric stencil cutters, especially on ebay. They range from $11.99 on up.
Quilters use them alot and you don't have to use exacto knives. Similar to wood burning tool from the 60's and 70's. Cuts thru the plastic/vinyl like butter. Do have to tape the plastic/vinyl on glass, with the design you want to cut taped underneath the glass.
I had absolutly no idea these cutters were available, i was thinking how neat my design would be if i cut it our by hand. I'm looking now to see if i cna get one.
Thais has been an excellent learning experience, the video was unreal, and i als thought something like this would take hours to achieve.
Thanks tallgood
