List of products by brand Designer Stencils

With the stencils from Designer Stencil, you can create beautiful patterns and motifs on cakes, cupcakes and pies in no time at all. For 30 years, the company has been producing great stencils with a wide variety of motifs. These are incredibly detailed and yet wonderfully simple in design. With cleverly placed cut-outs and lines, a great picture is created. Due to the simple design, the stencils can easily be used with thicker masses such as royal icing.

The stencils that we offer at miniSchoggi are all suitable for food and can therefore be used in many different ways.

One way of using them is to create motifs with the help of powdery food. Place the stencil in the right place on your creation, for example on a chocolate cake. Then sprinkle on some icing sugar using a small sieve. Carefully lift the stencil straight up and shake it off a little next to the cake.

Of course, you can make more than just white patterns this way. For example, create a colourful unicorn! Place the unicorn stencil on a cake or cupcake. Then take a piece of paper or kitchen paper and cover the lower part of the unicorn and the horn so that only the tip is visible. Then sprinkle on some powder or use a paintbrush. You can use some powder paint, glitter or powder paint and glitter mixed with icing sugar. Then move the cover slightly downwards so that the second section of the horn is visible and cover the tip with a second piece if necessary. Be careful not to smudge or move the stencil when moving the cover. Now apply another colour of powder or glitter. Do the same with the whole horn, the mane and the head of the unicorn. Finally, carefully remove the stencil and a colourful unicorn will adorn your cake or cupcake.

You can also use chocolate or cocoa powder as powder. To do this, put some cocoa powder in a small sieve. You can use it to decorate the foam on coffee or hot chocolate, for example. To do this, hold the stencil by the tab over the drink. The stencil should be close to the surface so that the motif is as accurate as possible without touching it. Then sprinkle some cocoa powder over it with the other hand and remove first the sieve and then the stencil. The noble drink is ready to be served!

With the stencils from Stencil Designer you can also create great patterns with the airbrush. Place the stencil on fondant, which can be a cake topper or even a covered cupcake or cake. Then use the airbrush to carefully spray on the pattern. Again, you can cover part of the stencil and work with different colours. This way you can create great colourful decorations that look impressive and complicated but are wonderfully easy to make!

Because of their thickness, the stencils are also perfect for applying royal icing, ganache or buttercream. These should have a spreadable but not runny consistency. Buttercream and royal icing also have the advantage that they can be coloured very easily. We recommend using gel colours for this, as they do not change the consistency of the mixture.

Then choose a beautiful stencil. For example, you could use a picture of New York or a long flower tendril. Such elongated motifs are particularly good for decorating the edges of cakes covered with fondant. Place the stencil on the side of the cake and hold it there with one hand. With the other hand, take some of the mixture with a small spatula or, better still, an angled spatula and apply it. Depending on the pattern, it is better to spread a little from top to bottom and from bottom to top or it is more comfortable to apply from side to side. This takes a little practice and is best done slowly and bit by bit.

You can pick up any excess mixture immediately with the angled spatula and brush it off again at the bowl with the rest of the mixture. The stencil should be fairly clean again before you remove it from the cake, i.e. the outline of the pattern should be visible. If necessary, clean the stencil briefly before applying it again, especially on the underside, there should be no more cream residue to be seen.

At the beginning, this procedure is still a bit complicated, but decorating cupcakes is a bit easier, so you can practise a bit in advance. Roll out some fondant and cut out a circle that is slightly larger than the cupcake. Then place the template on top, hold it in place and spread buttercream, royal icing or ganache on top. Scrape off the rest of the mixture again with the angled spatula and remove it. Now you can sprinkle some glitter on top, it holds well on the cream. The glitter should not dissolve when wet, otherwise it will soon be invisible. Now carefully pull the stencil straight up. Then stick the circle onto the cupcake with a little Royal Icing and press on the edge a little so that the whole dome is covered. For example, create lots of cupcakes with different motifs and put them on the buffet or table, so you have a beautiful, creative and delicious decoration in no time!
