Cake decoration through templates allows us print perfect shapes while adding flavor and color to the cake, since ingredients such as cinnamon, cocoa or icing sugar allow us to stamp that drawing either by addition or by their absence.
These templates We can make them ourselves with the help of the children with cardboard, scissors and a marker. We don't need anything else. We choose a drawing that is easy to cut out and paint its silhouette on the cardboard. Now we have two options. One is to cut the figure around the edges and the other the other way around, cutting out its interior and leaving the hollow of the silhouette. With the first shape, we will be able to fill the entire surface of the cake except for the hole in the figure. With the other, what we draw is only the area that occupies the hole of the figure on the cardboard, thus leaving the shape itself stamped.
As figures we can paint hearts, butterflies, stars, the cross of Santiago for the famous cake, a duckling, etc. As ingredients, in addition to those mentioned, we can add powdered coffee, spiced sugar, ground almonds, etc.
If you prefer buy them, in Artero, in Useful Things and in Ikea we have seen some.
