Acrylic Cake Shape Guides - Mermaid Tail

Either you have a little one that wants a mermaid party, or you have a little one that wants a mermaid party... there is no in between. The Mermaid Tail Cake Shape Guides are perfect for use on a cookie, cookie cake, shaped stacked naked cake or even a fully covered buttercream tail! The possibilities are almost endless! 

To use, wrap each board in glad wrap or cling film, cover it with a good, even layer of buttercream, place one on each end of your cakes, fill the sides with buttercream and smooth by following the guide with your scraper - it really is that easy! 

For the harder to glad wrap shapes, like the scallop, there are a few other ways to release your template from your buttercream or ganache:

1. Lightly heat your top acrylic guide for a few minutes (a few seconds for chocolate) until the top is very slightly melted, then slide the guide right off. 
2. Gently trace around your guide onto baking paper, and cut. Attach the baking paper to your guide with your ganache or buttercream and ice as normal. The baking paper should easily peel off your set frosting. 

We recommend chilling your cake before removing the guides otherwise your buttercream may come off with the board. 

Fancy a size or shape that isn't listed? We can custom cut one for you! Just email us at design@lollipopcakesupplies.com.au with your requirements. 

NOTE: The boards are shipped with the paper still on the acrylic to ensure that they are not damaged in transit. Remove the paper backing from the reflective side of the board prior to using.
