I have not done any stencilling for years, really enjoyed ‘jollying up’ this boring old panel door. Huge improvement. Good stencil easy to use/clean/reuse etc. Good fun too.

Bought the Millie in the largest size. Had literally never stencilled properly before. Read the instructions on the site, looked a couple of stencilling videos then went for it. Absolutely gorgeous. The stencil does all the work for you, it’s impossible to do a bad one. Delighted

These are great. I'll post my experience on them ( which isnt reflective of the product itself as 1st time user ). Pros, these are cute, easy to use and stick on in the right place as the faded outline on the stencils help with finding where you...

I phoned to make an enquiry about these sheets and received helpful information. The stencil sheets are really useful for us to use with our adults who have learning disabilities. I would highly recommend them.

Was looking for an appropriate stencil for the shed on my allotment. Searched 'flower' and saw the bunting with a flower, gorgeous! When it arrived I had a freebie, a gorgeous butterfly, what a bonus and appropriate too! I'll use that on pots etc. Thanks so much. I won't go...

I often use your stencils both personally and for my workshops, so they get a lot of use and never fail to impress with regards to quality and design.

I found using the stencil very easy. It lined up well and the pattern looks really good. It’s also washable which is great when doing a large area and the paint builds up.

I used the 4inch tiles to re stencil an old side table top. It worked out beautifully and was very easy to use. Having the corner pieces to make the border made it look more professional too.

We were really excited to receive this lovely stencil set for our daughter's nursery, we followed the paint guidance on this website too which was helpful and used chalk paint and flat brushes. It was really fun to paint and deciding where to put all the little creatures and painting...

Really lovely quality stencil. I found it very easy to use and it created a lovely border around my dining room walls. I found using spray mount was the best way to attach it to my walls and did not allow any seepage of paint. Would buy from The Stencil...

Snowflake Stenciled Cupcakes

If you’re new to cake stenciling, this is the place to start. We will show you how we made our Snowflake Cupcakes with a Stencil. 

Always make sure you have everything you need before you begin…

You will need:

  • Rolling Pin
  • Circle cutter to cover the top of your cupcakes (a cup or glass may be the right size)
  • Buttercream to stick the fondant icing to your cupcakes - flavour of your choice
  • Fondant icing
  • Icing sugar (for rolling out)
  • Stencil - All our stencils are cut from food safe Mylar. Our Stencil MiNiS are perfect for smaller cupcake projects. 
  • Gel food colouring (optional)
  • Edible coloured dust – this is available in every colour, including sparkly and with added lustre
  • Small clean paintbrush
  • Silver edible dragees for extra sparkle

To begin….

Get ready by dusting your work surface with the icing sugar. Take some fondant icing from the packet. We used Dr Oetker Soft Fondant Icing. 

Fondant Icing

Top Tip: If it’s very hard, pop in the microwave for 10 seconds, and knead it for a few minutes to soften.

If you would like to colour your fondant, knead in the gel food colouring, adding a little at a time. If you’re using a deep colour, you may want to wear latex gloves to save your hands! Continue kneading until the colour is evenly spread. 

Roll out on the dusted work surface.

Cut circle shapes to fit the top of your cupcakes using a cutter, or cup/glass.

Remove a scoop of the cupcake and fill the hole with buttercream also spread some buttercream onto the top. 

Gently press the fondant circles in place on the top of your cupcakes.

Now for the fun part:

Take your stencil and place onto the centre of the fondant circle. We used the Snowflake Stencil (Size XS) and just cut it into individual stencils so it was easier to use on the cupcakes.

Snowflake Stencil

Our huge range of Stencil MiNiS are also perfect for cupcakes.

Press the stencil down from the edges – this will make the fondant rise up through the stencil pattern.

With the stencil in place, take your paintbrush and dip it into the edible dust, and brush across the raised areas through the stencil pattern.

Gently remove the stencil.

Add a few dragees by carefully pressing them into the fondant

And most importantly…

Step back to admire your masterpiece!

All our Stencils are cut from food safe Mylar so are all suitable for your cupcakes.
