Step 5Place the stencil.
Once the cutting is done, take a break. Shake out your cutting hand and stand up.
Next, we bring the design to the cake.
Our cake baked in a 10.5" x 15.5" pan. Once baked and flipped out, the surface came out to be about a half an inch narrower all around. What matters here is that we had enough surface to handle our design. Furthermore, the paper was wider than the cake.
Place the cut-out stencil on the cake surface. You can use the cut-outs to determine if you're lined up in a way that works.
Once you're okay with your placement, you might want to secure it in place. Toothpicks might work, but we found that wig pins (T-pins, basically) worked even better. They're sharper and smaller, so they punched quickly through the four corners of the paper without creasing or ripping. And just a half-inch or so of depth is all you need to hold it.
