Netting for football (soccer) goal

I want to add a goal with netting to a cake. Anybody got any suggestions how to achieve a netting effect? I had thought of using cake lace but haven’t found a suitable mat as they are either too small or too expensive to justify. I wondered about piping cake lace if I drew a fine grid on a silicon mat, but not sure my hand would be steady enough for all those straight lines!

Hi Julie

If you bought a mat would you use it again or would it be just for this project? Clair Bowman has a net mat which looks fairly big ….. or you could pipe the cake lace out as you’ve just described. Here’s a tutorial on youtube:

The tutorial which follows on, shows a different way if you don’t feel confident enough with the piping. I think once you start piping and steady your hand you’ll be fine. I don’t pipe well these days so I steady my piping hand with the other and go slowly. It’s not a huge piece to do, go on have a go! xx
