Stencilled panels

Do you have any pointers for using shimmer dusts with stencils on panels of fondant and then wrapping them round the cake? X

Hi sandrafreason

Might be better to stencil the panels in situ as lustre dust smudges very easily. Pin the stencil on the panel to hold it still and dust. Very carefully remove the stencil. I use a little trex mixed in with my lustre or rub a little into iced cake to give a bolder colour. It can get quite messy so I’d advise practicing on some spare rolled out icing first.
