How to Make Edible Cake Lace
Create beautiful, delicate edible lace decorations for cakes and cupcakes using our silicone cake lace mats. Perfect for adding an elegant finish to wedding and celebration cakes.
Ingredients

• 100ml boiling water
• 10g Tylose Powder (CMC)
• 15g pure icing sugar, sifted
• 10g cornflour
• 10g liquid glucose
• 5g food-grade glycerine
• Food colouring (optional)

Instructions
Prepare the mixture: Gradually add the Tylose Powder to the boiling water, stirring well. Allow to rest for 20–30 minutes until thickened.
Mix: Add the icing sugar, cornflour, glucose and glycerine. Mix until smooth and slightly elastic.
Fill the mat: Spread the mixture firmly into the silicone lace mat using a spatula, ensuring all the intricate details are filled. Scrape away any excess.
Dry: Leave to air dry for 8–24 hours, or dry in an oven at 50–60°C, checking regularly until the lace is dry but flexible.
Remove: Gently peel the silicone mat away from the lace, taking care not to tear the delicate design.
Decorate: Apply the lace to your fondant-covered cake using a small amount of edible glue.
How to Make Gold or Silver Cake Lace
For a beautiful metallic finish, gently brush the dried lace with SPRINKS Edible Lustre Dust, or mix the dust with a little food-grade decorating alcohol to create a paint.
Alternatively, use an edible metallic airbrush colour for an even finish.
For best results, apply thin coats and allow to dry between applications.
Helpful Tips
Avoid over-drying, as the lace may become brittle.
Use a thin, even layer to capture the intricate details.
Store finished lace flat in an airtight container away from moisture.
Always use food-grade colours and metallic dusts specifically labelled as edible.
Please note: Drying times vary depending on temperature, humidity and the lace mat design. This is a suggested homemade recipe and may require some adjustment for best results.
