Advantages of confectionery border tape
It is worth buying a border tape if a cake is made, consisting of separate parts-cakes: it will prevent the pieces from sticking together and give them the appearance of an independent product.
Other advantages of using border film-tape:
• you can apply icing on it, and after drying, remove it and put it on the edges of the cake;
• you can wrap the form with a confectionery tape for the cake - then it will be easier to pull out the product, and the edges will remain perfectly even;
• You need to buy a border film if you need to bake or assemble a tall cake. With a film, you can “build up” the shape and place the finished cake inside, pour jelly, soufflé or mousse, apply cream decorations. So nothing will fall, move or spread.
• Ribbon can hide small decor errors or save on cream to decorate the sides of the cake;
• Ribbon with pictures will help to make a cake or a cake themed: there are options with New Year's pictures, images of fruits, flowers, gifts. This is a simple option for baking decor for the holiday, decorated in a certain color scheme.
If you buy a lace ribbon, it will become a substitute for icing - thin patterns look just as elegant, and a novice confectioner will spend much less effort for decoration.
