Everything You Need to Know About Using Fondant Molds
There are so many wonderful impression mats and molds available to cake decorators and designers. From butterflies and leaves, borders and waves, to pearls and alphabets, there is something for every cake theme. Fondant molds are wonderful time-savers and a boon for anyone who is just becoming familiar with the basic fondant techniques. They’re not foolproof though.
IF YOU’VE EVER TRIED AND FAILED TO GET THE FONDANT IN OR OUT OF SILICONE MOLDS, THESE SIMPLE TIPS AND TRICKS SHOULD HELP YOU BE MASTER OF THE MOLD!
When you're learning how to work with fondant (and even if you're a seasoned pro!) it's important to find the right materials to work with, and molds are no exception. Some molds are extremely easy to use. Push a little fondant in, pop a little button or bow out. But other molds take some getting used to and just a bit of know-how
You may prefer to use fondant that has been stiffened with Tylose powder, and you might have more success pressing the fondant into the mold if you don’t dust it first. Keep your fingers dusted, however, as you press. Remember to keep your knife clean and dry as you cut off the excess. If your knife blade becomes sticky, it will lift the fondant out of the mold as you slice.
