Cake Stencils & Two Lovely Awards

A reader, hociak, left a comment to ask how I "write" the wording on this simple birthday cake that I made for D.

I thought it is a good idea to take pictures to show hociak and also to share with you guys.

I guess many of you already know the answer.

You are right. I used cake stencil to create the wording and design.


I don't usually see cake stencils on sale, so when I saw it in NTUC Xtra, a local supermarket chain in Singapore, I grabbed both designs.

The other design I have is with wording "I Love You". I used it on this Father's Day cake.

These cake stencils were quite cheap; I remember I paid less than SGD2.00 each.

They are suitable for 8" round cake or bigger size cake.


How to use it? Simply place the cake stencil on the cake, dust with icing sugar (or cocoa powder, green tea powder..... whatever you can think of) and remove it carefully.

This thing is very good right? It turns a bare cake to a decent looking one (and meaningful one) in less than a minute time, especially useful for people like me who is lack of cake decoration skill.

If you are good in drawing, you can make your own cake stencil too. Just draw on a cardboard and cut out the design. I ever saw my secondary school classmate did that in our home econ class.

If you know of any places selling cake stencils please leave a comment to share ok?

Besides the exciting news of D returning home tomorrow after his long two weeks business trip, there is another reason to get excited.

I received two awards today! The awards are from Jess of Bakericious. Thank you, Jess.

I found out Jess's lovely blog when she started to leave comments in my blog. After which I became her reader too.

I would like to share these two awards with ALL of you. If I were to list down all there will be a very long list, so I try to limit to name only 10 blogs this time. They are either blogs that I have been following all these times or lovely blogs that I just discovered.
