Icing "lace"
I have seen some beautiful wedding cakes with lace piped designs which look very delicate.
Is a template used to do this ? or ?
I am interested to hear from anybody who can tell me more!

HI Tanya,
Funny you should ask, I'm just doing this as part of my diploma. What you do is get a design that you like and copy it as many times as you need on a piece of paper. Then put this paper on a board and cover the paper and board with cellophane. (like you would with runouts) Then pipe away!! let them dry, take them off carefully with a tiny pallette knife and stick them to your cake.
You will need to add gum tragacanth to your icing to make it a bit tougher.
Hope this helps!!

Thanks Rach, so a template (drawing ) is required under the cellophane to pipe over this is what I thought so if I have a topper with a lace design it would be an idea to supply a template to match so the cake maker can continue the same design over the cake?
What is a runout?

This is only the second time I have heard the term "run out", I want to know what this is too.

Hee hee this cake is a bit of a mess, but it is a cake I decorated to learn how to do runouts. The swans are runouts as are the collar and the base!

Just so I understand is a run out also called colorflow? Or do you use something else?
