House of Cake Edible Pearl Cake Lace - Floral
Add an instant wow factor to your celebration bakes with the House of Cake Edible Pearl Cake Lace in the Butterfly design. This ready-to-use edible cake lace band takes the effort out of creating delicate, lace-effect cake decorations from scratch, giving you a professional-looking finish in a fraction of the time. Each pack contains one butterfly pearl cake lace strip measuring 38cm x 6cm, ideal for wrapping around the base or middle tier of a cake, or for adding as a decoration to the top of cupcakes, biscuits and cake plaques.
The fluttering butterfly cut-out pattern runs the full length of the band, giving a delicate, pretty butterfly silhouette finish that instantly elevates plain sugarpaste, buttercream or ganache-covered cakes. Because this House of Cake cake lace arrives in its natural pearl finish, you can dust, spray or airbrush it with edible colouring or lustre dust to match any colour scheme, from soft pastels for a christening cake to bold metallics for a glamorous party cake. A versatile edible decoration for cake decorators who want to tailor their cake lace to a specific theme.
This edible cake lace band is a popular choice for wedding cakes, engagement cakes, anniversary cakes and birthday celebrations, where a touch of butterfly-inspired detail can turn a simple bake into a showstopper. To apply, simply attach the cake lace to your cake using a small amount of water, then gently press into place. For larger or multi-tiered cakes, order multiple packs so you have enough cake lace to wrap right around each tier. As with any delicate edible decoration, handle the lace carefully, as it can be fragile until it is secured to the surface of the cake.
Whether you're finishing off a wedding cake, adding detail to a birthday bake, or experimenting with a new decorating technique, this butterfly pearl cake lace makes it easy to achieve a beautifully finished result every time.
