Kids' faces on a wall

Capture a portrait so that you see the most important features of the face (taking the picture at an angle from a single light source usually provides enough contrast for this), and then upload to Bay Stencil. Choose the one you like best, and order the hard copy stencil to reproduce it anywhere you like.

Food stencils

The unfrosted chocolate cake becomes a spectacle with a powdered sugar stencil. Use the lighter layer of a two-color stencil to make your design come alive. Works for sugar cookies or yellow or white cake too--just use the darker layer of a two-color stencil, and a dark sprinkle like cocoa powder cinnamon or sugar that's been colored with ordinary food coloring.
