Can I Use Stencil Tape To Hold A Stencil On Cake.....

That task can be very difficult. I have to admit that I think the tape would ruin the frosting. I have found from experience that if I cut the stencil to cover just a small area it works the best. You may have to let the RI harden if it is a continuous pattern or skip the length between and let it all set up before you go back and fill in the spaces. Stenciling is not the easiest thing to do on a round cake but it is very rewarding when you get it done. There will be edges and peaks that are created when you raise the stencil up but can be easily patted down with a finger tip. Don't forget to post the picture. I love stenciled cakes!
i have recently starting using stencils and so far i have found to keep them small and 1 thing i tried and loved was taping a popcycle stick to the stencil so it gave me something to hold onto,for a cake i airbrushed on the sides i taped it to the top so i could use my left hand to hold it and my right hand to airbrush and my hands and arms did not interfere with each other
I just noticed on ace of cakes that they use a masking tape (looks like painters tape) to divide their patterns off for airbrushing. They did it on fondant. They didn't mention the brand so I don't know if it is specially designed for food products.
At one of the ICES conventions I watched two airbrushing demos. In one of them when she did the stencil on the cake, she used small magnets to hold it in place. The weight of them kept the stencil from moving, and it was easy pick up when you are done. The other used coins with tape around them that made a tab at the top for little handles.
Maybe something like that would work for you?
Opps sorry, I missed the on the side of the cake part in you orginal post. No those were used on the top of the cake.
Just one on top, or rather more than one on top. Place one in each corner then on other spots. The weight of the magnet hold the stencil down. The ones she had were little round ones.
