3. Setup and Preparation
Before using the cake collar film, ensure your workspace is clean and dry.
- Unroll the Film: Carefully unroll the desired length of film from the roll.
- Measure and Cut: Measure the circumference of your cake or dessert mold. Using a pair of clean scissors, cut the film to the appropriate length. You can also cut it to the desired height (8cm or 10cm options are available, or cut to a custom height if needed).
- Clean the Film: Although the film is food-grade, it is recommended to gently wipe it with a clean, damp cloth before use, especially if it has been stored for a long time.

4. Operating Instructions
The NIERBO Cake Collar Film is versatile and can be used for various baking applications:
4.1 For Mousse Cakes and Layered Desserts
- Place your cake base (e.g., sponge cake, biscuit crust) on your serving plate or cake board.
- Wrap the cut cake collar film around the base, ensuring it fits snugly. Secure the ends with a small piece of tape if necessary, or overlap them slightly.
- Pour your mousse mixture or layer your dessert components inside the film-lined mold.
- Refrigerate until set. The film will help maintain the shape and provide a clean edge.
- Once set, gently peel away the film. The dessert will release easily, leaving a smooth, professional finish.
4.2 For Chocolate Decoration and Tempering
- Spread tempered chocolate thinly onto the film.
- Allow it to set slightly, then shape it as desired (e.g., wrap around a cylindrical object for chocolate curls, or cut into shapes).
- Once fully set, the chocolate will easily peel off the non-stick surface of the film.
4.3 General Use and Protection
- Use the film to protect the edges of finished cakes during transport or storage.
- It can be molded into various shapes (triangular, round, square) to accommodate different cake designs.

- Storage: Roll the film back onto its original core or store it flat to prevent creases. Keep it in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
