Baking Stencils

Decorating tools for using baking stencils on cakes and cookies.

Introduction

Baking stencils let you dust cocoa, powdered sugar, or colored sprinkles into crisp designs on cakes, cookies, and pastries. Reusable plastic or silicone sheets make repeating patterns simple for any skill level.

  • Flexible sheets conform to round, square, or irregular surfaces without tearing.
  • Laser-cut openings keep fine lines sharp even after dozens of uses.
  • Easy-rinse surfaces prevent color build-up between different designs.

Lay the stencil flat, dust gently, then lift straight up for clean results.
