I think she was referring to the little air bubbles in the red mixture! I would say that no, they are not supposed to be there.
I need new specs...I still cant see air bubbles and of course now I'm peering real hard.
I can`t take a closer pictures. But the lace lines are supposed to be smooth and they have little tiny holes all over. It is either I am not mixing the mix properly or not filling the lace mold properly.
(Cakebaby you can see the air holes when you click on the picture)
Maybe try stirring it gently or paddling it against the side of the bowl with a spatula? Other than that, try sending them an email or phoning them?
After you've mixed it up you need to let it sit for a few hours (overnight is even better) that should reduce the air bubbles. I found if I spread it right after mixing I get a ton of air bubbles.

oops, now I can see them! Everyone should have a client like blind old me x
I havent got around to making cake lace yet though I have a couple of nice molds I want to try so this was a great thread to pick up some pointers. I'd never have thought of letting it sit overnight though it makes perfect sense.

Also instruction said to use cake lace spreading knife. Is it really a must or I can use regular knife, palette knife or spatula?
I had the same problem with my first attempt at cake lace, I emailed and asked why on their website and they said the oven was to hot. If the oven is to hot the sugar in the lace starts to bubble and causes air bubbles. I don't use the spreading knife I just use a flat plastic spatula that I have. I also agree with Dayti that it is better when left overnight.
@roxylee123, I made a mix, covered, checking every couple hours and there is a lot of large bubbles coming up, I will dry lace tomorrow at lower temperature. Thanks.
AI've never had that happen with cake lace. I've always used it right after mixing, but I've always just let it air dry. I bought their knife thing, I much prefer my small offset spatula.
AI have had a couple of classes with Wayne Steinkopf with Cake Lace and he does say if your oven is too hot it will bubble.
Update
I ended up air drying the lace, because it still had air pockets when I dried it in the oven and my oven doesn`t go lower then 170 F.
Here is a practice cake.
Cake lace on SMBC. It has been in refrigerated over night ( with cake lace on) and now it is out at room temp for 3- 4 hours just to see how everything goes.
oh gosh it is beautiful -- and such a good editing eye you have -- that understated but elegant double board -- so cool
Thanks all, I have a better picture in my profile pictures.
I am doing square cakes on purpose, so I can practice leveled sides and edges.
Had the same problem. But mixing it one day ahead takes care of this. Also mixing it longer, much longer than you were.
Okay folks-- if you having trouble getting those butterflies to stay in flight and not flop over--
Apparently you have to use Pearlized as a base for the Part A and Part B mixture. I was not aware of this.
Keep Calm and Bake Cakes!!!!
