I have stenciled a square cake before but just wondering if anyone has had issues with stenciling a round cake?

Hi!

As long as your sides are straight (as in from top to bottom) then the stencil will sit well on the cake and it will be easy to use the stencil.   I had issues on one of my very first cakes as my fondant was not totally even causing the stencil dip slightly then pulled away smudging the design.

Hope this helps!

I've stencilled round cakes many times...You just have to make sure you follow the tips in the post above, and take your time! If your cake is buttercream make sure it's super cold so that you can press on the stencil without ruining the buttercream surface.

Start in the back so if it doesn't line up perfectly it won't be too noticeable.
