Lace Mats!

Lace Mat Sheets eliminate the endless hours spent piping fragile lace pieces. In a few easy steps numerous pieces can be made. The longest time is allowing the royal icing or chocolate dry firm enough so the pieces are able to be handled.

So easy to use. I have one for lace points and I love it!
*I've used the heart mat and it was GREAT! Just one swipe of icing over the hearts and BINGO! I had all the heart lace points I needed! White royal icing is recommended but I used royal icing made using meringue powder without too much breakage. From Dolores

Finished cake shows lace points at top edges of cakes. Apply using tiny dots of royal icing.
INSTRUCTIONS BELOW
Use strong royal icing...(made with egg white & conf. sugar only). Beat with a fork until it stands in peaks.
I have used royal icing made with meringue powder. I had some breakage but it does work okay too.

1. Prepare royal icing mix according to package instructions.

2. Place non-stick mat on flat surface; lightly coat with shortening; cover with lace mat.
3. Using a medium round angled spatula), spread Roayal Icing evenly over lace mat (several strokes may be necessary to ensure icing fills the lace patters). Remove excess icing, leaving a thin smooth layer over the entire surface.
4. Remove lace mat. Allow pieces to dry thoroughly, preferably overnight.
5. Gently lift the lace pieces by bending the mat, allowing the pieces to slide off. For dedicate tree, leave the mat on the flat surface and loosen the pieces using the flat nose angled spatula.

6. Use royal icing to attach lace pieces to surface of cake.

7. Store excess pieces in a sealed container.
Some patterns may be stored loose.
Delicate patterns may be placed on layers of parchment paper.

Notes:

1. For solid, long lasting colors, use powdered colors in the royal icing .

2. Royal icing keeps well in a small bowl, covered with cling film, then inverted.

3. Clean the Lace mat with warm water immediately after use.

4. In a RUSH, lace pieces can be dried using a hair dryer on the lowest setting.

5. Dry lace pieces may be surface dusted with powdered lustre colors.

6. Make delicate lace on a non-stick mat lift off with a tapered spatula. Select the strongest part of the lace (point of a heart or rounded surface). Flex the tapered spatula so it is flat with the mat. Push under the lace until it lifts off. Avoid side-to-side motions as this may crack the lace.

7. Pieces may be applied to any dry surface such as marzipan, rolled fondant, royal icing, crusted buttercream, or gingerbread.
