The Bat Stencil
This is a photo of my cake stencils.
My cake stencil is an older stencil with the bats centrally located on the cake. Occasionally, you can find a stencil like mine available on Ebay.
My set, by Martha Stewart (44-01008 or #5415), includes 4 cake stencils: Bat, Vampire, “Eat if you Dare” and Blood Splattered.
If your can’t find a bat stencil you like, you can use cookie cutters instead!
