Ingredients You’ll Need
(Full measurements in the recipe card below)
DRY MIX
- • 1 tbsp Tylose powder — creates the lace structure
- • 2 tbsp cornflour — adds flexibility
- • 1 tbsp icing sugar — light sweetness and body
WET MIX
- • 1/2 cup boiling water — dissolves Tylose fully
- • 1/4 tsp corn syrup — keeps lace pliable
- • 2 tbsp normal water — adjusts consistency
Substitutions

How to Make It — Step by Step
Mix Dry Ingredients
Whisk Tylose powder, cornflour and icing sugar together in a bowl until evenly combined
Add Boiling Water
Pour boiling water over the dry mix and stir vigorously until you get a smooth lump free paste
Add Wet Ingredients
Stir in corn syrup and normal water until the batter is thin, smooth and pourable like a crepe batter
Spread on Lace Mat
Place your silicone lace mat on a flat tray, pour the mixture over it and use a scraper to push it into every detail of the mat
Dry and Peel
Allow it to dry at room temperature for 6 to 8 hours or place in an oven at the lowest setting for 30 minutes, then gently peel off and apply to your cake
Tips for the Best Result
Always sieve the cornflour and icing sugar into the tylose mixture to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth, even lace batter that spreads easily into the mould.
Allow the lace to dry completely at room temperature or in a warm oven at the lowest setting. Peeling it too early will cause it to tear.
The batter begins to set as it cools, so spread it into your lace mat or stencil quickly and evenly using a palette knife or scraper for best results.
How to Store
