National Cupcake Week tutorial: How to use silicone moulds with sugarpaste or fondant!


What you will need:

Sugarpaste
Paint brush
A mould (The Cake Decorating Co. have some beautiful moulds including cameos, teacups, lace etc)
Blade and shell modelling tool (we used a Tala tool)
Sugarflair Lustre Dust or icing sugar

Step one: Use your paint brush to dust the mould with Sugarflair Lustre Dust or icing sugar. The lustre dust will supply a sheen to your embossment; furthermore it will prevent the sugarpaste sticking to the mould.

 

Step two: Prepare your sugarpaste by rolling it in a ball. You should aim to use slightly more than is needed as this will enable you to remove the sugarpaste from the mould without smudging the design. The excess can be carefully removed at a later stage using the blade end of the blade and shell modelling tool.

Step three: Caerfully pull the sugarpaste from the silicone mould. If you are finding it hard to remove the sugarpaste from the mould then pop the entire thing in the freezer for 30mins and then try to carefully remove your new design!
Silicone moulds are an amazing way to add detail to cakes. If you have beautiful jewellery you'd love to adorn your baked creations with we'd suggest investing in a Silicone Putty Kit! You simply mix the silicone, imprint your brooch or earrings into the putty, leave to dry and then you can create some lovely edible pieces with sugarpaste or chocolate!
