Did you use royal icing for the stencil? This is beautiful! Good job!

-- Happy Cakes

Hi Happy Cakes, thank you! Yes I used royal icing to spread this over the stencil. Works like a charm!

This is gorgeous. I’ve never tried stenciling but it’s on my “to try” list. Love the flower

I know. I was pacing up and down for 10 minutes before actually starting on the stencil because it was my first time also. But once you start the rest is a breeze. Just make sure that stencil is steady so that you can get clean sharp lines. And once you put that royal icing down, it acts like a paste and shouldn’t move your stencil around. Go for it! You’ll do great!
