Stenciling is a wonderful way to put a “wow” factor into your cake decorating toolbox.  It’s very easy to do but looks stunning.  Press the stencil close to the top of your cake. Dust some confectioner’s sugar over it.  Gently remove the stencil.  You’ll have an incredibly beautiful cake in no time.  This photo shows a stenciled cake we recently made at a cooking birthday party.

You can cut your own stencil, use a doily or buy a stencil on these websitess.
