Making and Using Templates
Templates are a useful way of transferring a design from a book or drawing onto the surface of the cake.
Place tracing or waxed paper over the design to be copied
and, using a sharp pencil, outline it neatly. If tracing
a name, first draw a straight line on the paper with a ruler
so that all the letters are even.
Turn the tracing right side up and outline again onto the
cake. Pricking the design through the paper straight onto
the cake with a pin. This can be done directly onto the
fondant or a non decorated cake. Then decorate.
