CHRISTMAS CHARISMA
It’s easy to create beautifully detailed icing decorations at home with Squires Kitchen Flexi-Ice Mats. These high-quality silicone moulds are designed to work with Flexi-Ice to produce fabulously flexible sugar designs for wedding and celebration cakes, cupcakes and cookies.
Squires Kitchen Instant Mix Gold Flexi-Ice is a fabulously flexible, high-performance icing with a delicate natural vanilla flavour. Ideal for creating fine edible lace in sugar, this high-quality icing mix can also be piped, stencilled and used to make edible confetti, making it great value for money.
Developed by the experts at Squires Kitchen and thoroughly tested by expert cake decorators, Gold Flexi-Ice is incredibly easy to make up and apply. Just add water and the icing is ready to pipe and stencil, or spread over a lace mould and allow to oven-dry or air-dry for a realistic metallic lace-effect finish. The icing is pre-coloured so there’s no need to add your own colourings.
Once set, simply cut the paper-thin edible lace with scissors or a pizza wheel and fold into delicate frills, bows and flowers. Perfect for transforming celebration cakes, cupcakes and desserts with beautiful lace-like pieces in an instant.
The handy resealable pack also keeps the mix fresh for your next project.
- Sift the contents of the sachet into a bowl
- Add 75ml of cooled, boiled water for every 50g of the mix
- If you prefer to use a softer consistency of paste, add a little more water
- Colour with SK liquid, dust or paste food colours, if desired
- Beat for 3 minutes with a spoon until it forms a lump-free mixture
- Choose a lace mat and smooth the icing firmly over the mould with a plastic smoother or large palette knife for an even layer
- Place in a cool oven (approximately 60–70°C) or a dehumidifier for approximately 20 minutes. Flexi-Ice can also be dried over a longer period of time at room temperature
- The icing is ready when it pulls away from the mat easily without sticking. If it feels tacky underneath, leave it in the oven for a further 10 minutes or until the product is dry enough to peel from the mat. The drying time will vary depending on the mat you are using
- Attach the edible lace to cakes, cupcakes and cookies with a dab of SK Edible Glue or cooled, boiled water
- If the paste starts to firm up, pass it through the steam of a kettle to restore its flexibility
