Kika : gambar asli dilapis kertas roti & dicocok dng jarum sesuai garis, gbr yg tlh selesai dicocok ditaruh diatas cake yg tlh dipis BC siram, pola yang timbul setelah coklat bubuk ditabur diatas kertas cocokan & diratakan dng jari, hasil akhir setelah digaris & diisi BC.

Jadi ingat waktu jaman TK dulu.. :)

What you'll need to do cocoa stenciling is:
- The image that you want to transfer
- 1-2 tsp. cocoa powder
- A needle (a fatter needle works better for me)
- A folded up bath towel (the real instructions call for a block of Styrofoam but I usually don't have a block of Styrofoam lying around the house) me : bantalan/dudukan kursi :)
If you are going to be using this method a lot I would go buy a block of Styrofoam (craft dept.)

Instructions :
  1. The first step in cocoa stenciling is to find the image that you want to transfer to your cake and make sure it's the right size for your cake. I usually scan the image I want and resize it, or if I'm lucky I'll find a picture on the Internet that's just the right size.
  2. Once you get it to the size you want just print it out on a regular piece of typing paper.
  3. Lay the paper with the image on it on your towel or block of Styrofoam.
  4. Next take your needle and begin poking holes through the image. I would poke the holes about 1/4" apart or even closer if this is your first time using this method. It's kind of like connect the dots in reverse. You want to poke holes over all of the lines in the image so that when you are done and hold the piece of paper up to the light you can clearly make out the image. *Always hold it up to the light to make sure you haven't missed any lines. Also, the more detailed the image the closer together your puncture holes need to be.*
  5. Now you’re ready to transfer the image to your Spiderman cake. Position the piece of paper on top of your cake so that the image is where you want it. If you are transferring an image to a cake iced in butter cream make sure that the icing has 'crusted' - is dry to the touch so that the paper will not stick to the icing when it is lifted off. It's also important that the surface be as level as possible so that the image will transfer well.
  6. Carefully place 1-2 tsp. of cocoa on top of the image on the piece of paper then take a brush or you finger (I feel like I have more control with my finger) and gently rub the cocoa over all of holes that you punched in the picture. Then VERY CAREFULLY lift the piece of paper off of your cake so as not to drop any of the excess cocoa onto your cake. If your cake is larger than the piece of paper that you have your image on you might want to cover the exposed parts of the cake up with a paper towel or whatever so you won't accidentally drop cocoa where you don't want it.
  7. After you've lifted the paper off you should have a dotted line outline of your image that you can now trace and fill in.
