Claire Bowman Cake Lace Mix - Black 200g

When I first bought this I thought it was expensive but actually it is very good value and it works. I bought this alongside Claire's Vintage Heart lace mat. I mixed up one amount and filled around 12 mats - plenty for covering the biggest tiered cake. What I found with the mixture is that by whisking for a long time you incorporate a lot of air bubbles which can show through in the finished lace. I found the lace improved as time went on so next time I will not whisk so long and probably leave the mixture standing for a while with a damp cloth over the bowl. I tried the oven method and the air dry method. The oven is definitely better. To apply the mixture to the lace I used a very flexible small spatula which really got the paste into all the intricate places. This is much better than her recommended knife, which I wouldn't bother with. I also tried colouring some of the mixture with Sugarflair Paste - red - which I used on a red velvet cake with white fondant. This worked really well. All in all a great product.

The media could not be loaded. Omg i love this stuff so easy to use and was great results instructions were so easy to read and use will be buying again and definitely recommend it. It seemed expensive but i kid you not it makes loads so its not

Really good but needs to be left a long time to set

Great product, I would buy again as it does what it supposed to do… my only criticism is that the liquid had leaked over the bag of powder when I received it, but this didn’t affect the mix( other than the fact I have less of the liquid ratio, for further mixes) Excellent product.

Loved this product, didn’t think it would work as the lace mat was so fine and detailed, came out so easily in one piece, easy to mix , easy to colour, tastes and looks great, will definitely buy again

For me the best (& original) cake lace

This is the first time I have used this brand of cake lace but I bought it based on recommendations from other bakers.It was easy to make following the clear instructions. I was ready to make lace in a few minutes. It spread easily into the lace mat with minimal air bubbles. I baked mine in the oven and once out left it to cool for half an hour. I found this easy to remove from the mould.

packaging was rubbish,i opened the pot and the powder went everywhere,big hole in the bag,also the bag as greasy,wont be buying again
