Caking It Up
OPERA large cake icing stencil by Karen Reeves

Product Details
OPERA large double barrel professional cake icing stencil by Caking It Up
- designed and produced in Australia by our friend and internationally renowned cake artist Karen Reeves
- Opera is a pretty mirrored and repeated fan pattern inspired by the great romantic opera houses
- pic 2 shows detail of the actual stencil - pic 3 is a graphic representation of the design
- Caking It Up stencils are made for professional cake artists who require the highest quality results
- detailed geometric and floral designs that are perfect for double barrel taller tiers
- these gorgeous stencils aren't cheap - they retail for $45 (Australian dollars), so by the time we've paid the shipping from Australia, import duty and VAT, we reckon our prices are still extremely competitive
- Caking It Up designs have sharp, clean laser-cut edges to give the best results
- stencil approx 24.5cm / 245mm / 9¾" x 21cm / 210mm / 8¼"
- use for icing, cakes, cupcakes, cookies, chocolate, fudge and sugarcraft models
- for best results use use with royal icing or buttercream for a slightly raised relief effect
- also work perfectly on a dry, firm surface such as sugarpaste or modelling paste
- reusable - simply wipe clean
- TIPS: ensure cake is sitting flat / straight / even and that stencil is in full contact with the cake without any spaces - use royal icing / buttercream to fill open spaces, scraping it down to leave the same thickness as the stencil
- use a flexible scraper to spread the icing or buttercream
- if you don't fancy the royal icing method you can also use by simply applying colouring direct to the stencil - ideal for dust & powder colours, metallic colourings & edible paints, royal icing, edible lustre colourings and airbrushing
- for smaller areas apply using a good quality sugarcraft dusting brush
- for larger areas designs are probably best applied by airbrush
- if using gold leaf or silver leaf, apply using the special fan dusting brush
- for even more detail, try icing colouring pens
- highly durable and resistant to tears and stains
- made from 10 mil food grade opaque plastic
- a 'mil' is approx 1/1000th inch (not an abbreviation for millimetre), so 10 mil thickness is just over 0.25mm
- wipe clean - don't put in the dishwasher as the heat will warp the plastic
- highest quality flexible non-acetate material that's 100% food safe
- although extremely well made, the nature of laser-cutting means there may be the odd little piece of design that hasn't been removed completely, so we advise inspecting the stencil prior to use and using a sugarcraft trim knife to do tidy if necessary
- attractive branded black card envelope style pack with acetate window
- pack approx 26cm / 260mm / 10¼" x 23cm / 230mm / 9" x 0.5cm / 5mm / ¼" overall
