14 Mix up one quantity of white CakeLace to the instructions given on thepackaging. I used the recommended42g of powder, mixed with water and½ tsp of the Cake Lace liquid. You willneed a freestanding mixer or electrichand whisk to mix to the correctconsistency.``````15 Work your white Cake Lace into thefeathers Cake Lace mat. You will onlyneed to use the shaggy feathers forthis design.``````16 Scrape away any excess CakeLace (scrape this back into the bowlas this can be reused) from the mat.Place the mat on a baking sheet andbake at 80°C for fifteen minutes,or until dry enough to remove fromthe mat easily.``````17 To remove the Cake Lace feathers,turn the mat on its face and peel thesilicone away from the lace. This is thebest method to prevent tearing thefragile feathers. Repeat this processuntil you have sufficient white CakeLace feathers for your cupcakes. By myreckoning, you will need around 50-60feathers to complete twelve cupcakes.``````18 Roll a small ball from your leftoversugarpaste, about 1cm in diameter.``````19 Dip the ball in water, shaking offany excess, and place in the middle ofyour cupcake. The water will adherethe ball to the cupcake and provide asticky surface for your feathers.``````http://www.cakedecorationmagazine.co.uk September 2018 | 65TO MAKE THE SUGAR FEATHERS### YOU WILL NEED### EDIBLES: 42g Cake Lace: white (one quantity)EQUIPMENT: feathers mat by Cake Lace spreader/palette knife mixer or hand whisk20 I have decorated this cupcakeusing pearlised powder pink CakeLace as I thought this would show upbetter in the photographs!
