Use lacy cloth to dust icing sugar in fancy patterns
Dusting a cake or cookie with powder sugar can mean the difference between eh and wow! It’s not even about sweetness! If there’s a fancy pattern on top of your pastry, you can bet people will fawn over your homemade baked goods.
If you want to take your dusting game up a notch, place a lacy cloth on top of your unfrosted pastries. Using a small sieve, dust powdered sugar on top of the lacy cloth, then pull the cloth away. It’ll leave an amazing pattern that’s nearly impossible to achieve. Dust off the lacy cloth and wash it for future use.
