Cake Decoration Stencils – Personalized Designs for Pastry and Cakes

Cake decoration is all about details. A simple cake becomes unforgettable with the right design. Professional pastry chefs and home bakers use cake stencils to add elegance, precision, and creativity.

Recently, we created a custom stencil for a French pastry chef. The design included local symbols of Cognac, combined with a refined pattern. It shows how stencils can connect pastry with culture and storytelling.

Case Study: A Personalized Pastry Stencil

For this project, we designed a stencil that represents the heritage of Cognac.
The stencil features the city’s fortress and a fleur-de-lis motif. When applied to a cake, it immediately communicates identity and style.

The pastry chef used it for a signature dessert, paired with fine Cognac. The result is more than a cake – it’s a story on a plate.

This project was realized in collaboration with French pastry chef Patisserie Vincent Conter from Cognac.

How to Make Your Own Cake Stencil

You don’t always need to buy ready-made shapes. With the right tools and our help, you can get a personalized stencil:

1. Choose your design – logo, pattern, or text.
2. We convert it into a vector format for precise cutting.
3. The design is cut on durable, food-safe plastic.
4. You receive a finished stencil, ready to test and use on cakes.

This way, every pastry shop or home baker can have a professional and personalized stencil with a unique touch.

A Signature Dessert from Cognac
