Step 6Dust your design.
You'll need a couple more tools. Or rather, one more tool and a substance.
Get a small flour sifter -- the one-handed kind -- and about a cup or so of confectioner's sugar. Put about half of the sugar into your sifter.
With your stencil in place, start sifting over your paper. Think of it like dusting for fingerprints, because coverage is key. Don't be too shy, but don't leave mounds of sugar either. You might not use all of the sugar, but maybe you will. In the end, you shouldn't be able to see the cut-out design on your stencil as all of your cut-outs will be full of sugar.
Once you're done, carefully -- I mean it -- lift the stencil straight up off the cake. Find a friend so that you've a hand on each corner. You might want to have the kitchen waste bin very handy and ready to receive, paper and sugar and all.
