Roll out your paste on a non-stick board. Position the stencil over the top and roll over gently. Dust over the stencil with dusts, spray with lustres, sprinkle with chocolate or icing sugar or scrape with royal icing. Lift the stencil and reveal the pattern.

For Members : there are online tutorials showing how to use stencils on cupcakes in a variety of ways here and as a side design on a big cake here .
