Pancake Mod - Screen printing / laser etching pancakes

Step 2 Spray Paint Stenciling Pancakes

Billy was leaving for Japan. So we wanted to do something to commemorate his departure so we made him some pancakes titled "Billy Cakes". This time we didn't have the aid of a laser cutter to help us out so we had to come up with an alternative. Here's what we did:

Prepare the stencil

• We typed out "Billy Cakes" in a stenciled font
• Printed it out on to bristol board, a heavy paper
• Cut out all the black areas with an Exacto knife

Make the spray sauce

• Pour 3 tablespoons of chocolate sauce into a clean empty spray bottle
• Add a tablespoon of water
• Spray into a trash can whlie adjusting the pressure nozzle till the sauce comes out in a fine stream.

Print the cakes

• Lay the stencil over the pancake where you want the print
• Spray from a few feet away to lightly coat the pancake under the stencil

Serve the cakes

That is all. A good method, but not the best. Let's get on with what really works:

Awesome stuff! The stenciling seems to be the most feasible with the materials I have around my house. Plus, I bought a huge box of Bisquick yesterday!

Yep, stenciling is the easiest, but you could also just tear off your curtains and stretch it across an old picture frame and staple it to the edge. Draw a design on it and paint all the negative areas with glue. That'd be a good stencil too. -bg

That is also a great idea. Thanks!
