Using Real Lace Or Fondant Lace With Impression Mat
Decorating By cyncamp Updated 23 Jan 2012 , 10:47pm by icer101
My neighbour's daughter is giving me a lot of creative freedom with her wedding cake though she has requested lace border on the 2 of the 4 tiers. She gave me actual lace and said to use it if I wanted...but it's pure white and I don't think it will look nice with the off-white fondant. I have no experience making lace with molds or impression mats and wondered if anyone could share some tips with me? I have a few more weeks and want to practice. Thank you!
Im not sure why she gave you real lace? But if you have a lace mat you can use that just lay it over your fondant and use your rolling pin and roll over it , it should work.Also you could use the plastic placemats that look like lace you can find them at Dollar Trees and maybe at Micheals,
Hope this helps
You can make a temporary inexpensive mold or texture mat by using Model Magic and the lace. It will last a while but will eventually dry out and break. It would last until you finished the cake though.
Where can you get Model Magic?
Thank you. I've looked at Michaels and could not find any food safe putty at mine. I will try Joann's or Walmart. Thanks again.
Oh, okay. Yeah I didn't look there at all! Is it food safe?
Hi, please watch the video on how to make a lace mold on this site. I did. and was very pleased with my mold. I was just wanting to see if i could do it. I had bought his products at an ices convention. hth
