Silicone Mold Vs. Stencil. Vintage Wedding Cake..? Help Asap
Decorating By weidertm24 Updated 30 Apr 2012 , 3:27am by weidertm24
So my cousin asked me to do her wedding cake and it is a vintage theme and she was three of the tier to be covered in lace. She is ok with either a lace stenic using royal icing/buttercream or a silicone mold using fondant. Just need you opinion on which you think would be easiest for a first timer with either of these methods..
Lace Molds like this : http://decoratethecake.com/store/WsDefault.asp?Cat=LacePresses
-or-
Stencils like this : http://www.designerstencils.com/Alencon-Lace-Set-P12577_SKU_C370.aspx
Thanks in advance!
I personally would use silicone lace molds.

That's what I was thinking as well just wanted some advice as its my first wedding cake and I want it to be perfect!
anyone else have any opinions? or used either of these?
I've never used either one, but it seems like you're going to get a very different end product from those. I've used stencils with royal icing and you will have a beautiful pattern applied to the cake, and it will look lacey but not the same as if you are applying lace appliqués
I haven't tried stenciling yet, but I would think it would be faster. If you will have some time to practice, I would give it a few tries and keep the molds just in case. I say that because unless you buy a few molds of each, it will take a while to make each individual mold. Either way, I'm sure it will be beautiful. Best of luck to you!
I'm doing a lace cake for a friend using a combination of a rose mold, leaf cutter, and piped buttercream. I did a practice cake tonight and it turned out beautiful and was not all that difficult. Here is the cake by NadaG I'm using for inspiration.
