Sakura Petals for Doll Festival Cakes

• 1 Chocolate decorating pen
• 1 big enough to set the chocolate pens in Bain marie
• 1 Parchment paper
• 1 Pen or pencil
• 1 Spatula

1. Draw whatever shapes of decorations you like on the back of the parchment paper.
2. I drew sakura petals this time (or tried to).
3. Prepare a bowl large enough to soak the chocolate pens, and lightly squeeze the pens in water heated to 45-50C.
4. Flip over the parchment paper and trace over the shapes from Step 1 using a chocolate pen.
5. Let sit until the icing has completely hardened, then gently lift the decorations with a spatula or other flat implement.
6. When using two or more colors, first draw the outline, wait until the decorations completely hardens, then add in the next color, filling in any crevices.
7. Allow them to completely harden, then remove from the paper.
8. The finer bits break easily, so take extra care.
9. I use this technique in myfor cupcakes.
10. I also used it in myfor White Day Decorative Pocky sticks.
