FUNSHOWCASE Edible Cake Lace Border — Black 12-inch 10‑Pack, Pre‑Made Lattice Scallop for Fondant & Buttercream

A ready-to-use black edible lace border that instantly dresses cakes and cupcakes with a vintage lattice-scallop effect.

This pack from FUNSHOWCASE includes ten pre-cut edible lace strips, each 12.2 inches long, designed to wrap, trim or accent fondant, buttercream and chocolate creations without the fuss of making lace by hand. The pieces arrive dry and sturdy, but soften quickly with steam or brief exposure to humidity, allowing you to shape them, trim to size, or brush with metallic dusts for highlighted texture. Because they come black, they offer a dramatic contrast or antique look when layered with gold, silver, pearl, or colored luster powders.

How do I apply these pre-made edible lace strips to a cake?

Application is straightforward: gently moisten the cake surface, unroll a lace strip, and press it into place. If the lace feels brittle, soften it briefly with a steamer or hold it above warm boiling water — the lace becomes pliable and easier to shape. For firm attachment on fondant, brushing the back of the lace with a tiny amount of water or vodka helps it adhere without dissolving the detail.

• Moisten cake surface lightly with water or food-safe alcohol for better adhesion.
• Use a steamer or brief warming to soften lace before shaping.
• Trim with scissors for a perfect fit around tiers or cupcakes.
• Press gently and allow to set for a few minutes before moving the cake.

What decorating effects can I achieve with the black lattice scallop lace?

The black lace creates bold contrast and texture—ideal for vintage, gothic, or elegant themes. Once applied, it can be dry-brushed with pearl or luster dusts for a metallic sheen or left matte for a rustic look. The flexibility of the material lets you form bows, rosettes, or layered trims to add dimension to cakes, cupcakes, or dessert displays.

• Create an antique or industrial look by dry-brushing gold or silver over the black lace.
• Use lace pieces as trim, cupcake toppers, or lacy bows for three-dimensional accents.
• Layer multiple strips for scalloped borders and textured banding on tiers.
• Cut and combine sections for custom shapes and unique motifs.

Will these lace pieces work with fondant, buttercream, and chocolate?

Yes — they’re suitable for multiple surfaces but require slightly different techniques. On fondant, the lace adheres readily with light moisture and holds clean edges. For buttercream, chill the cake briefly so the surface is firm before applying, and for chocolate, attach the lace while the coating is slightly tacky to ensure a secure bond.

• Fondant: moisten surface for immediate adhesion and smooth finish.
• Buttercream: apply on a chilled, firm surface to prevent sliding.
• Chocolate: press on while chocolate is tacky, then set at room temperature.
• Always handle gently to preserve fine lace detail while positioning.

Who is this product for? FUNSHOWCASE’s pre-made black edible lace is aimed at home bakers, cake artists, and event pastry teams who want professional-looking borders without making lace from scratch. It’s especially useful for busy bakers preparing wedding tiers, themed party cakes, or boutique cupcakes that need consistent, repeatable trims. Because pieces are ready-to-use, they save time and reduce waste compared with hand-piped alternatives, while offering creative freedom to cut, shape, and embellish.
