Cake lace

In the Crystal Palace 2, Paul seems to cover the lace mat twice, is this necessary, as it going to add a lot of time to the edible lace making, I don’t think he has done it in previous tutorials, thanks

Hello Sue-Wales

Paul covered the cake lace twice to give it more strength. The white lace isn’t as strong as the gold, giving it a double application does give a better end result. I think in the previous tutorials the product was new to Paul and he was experimenting with it as just anyone else would with something new. I remember Claire Bowman saying in one of her videos that it is worth giving white lace a double coating because, apart from being stronger, it releases better. I cover twice and find it doesn’t really increase the time significantly.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Made it with Love! will give it a go, about to try for the first time, what would we do without you?!

It’s really lovely. I was so apprehensive the first time but when I saw the results I ended up buying more mats at the show. Just let it dry completely and it will come off without any problems at all. Enjoy!
