would you please let me know how the fondant/gum paste removal is for this rose 2.6cm silicone sugar mini mold? Does the rose hold its shape?

Oops, I am sorry the picture did not load and I thought you were asking about a different product. I used polymer clay in the mold and think the mold was rather too soft for harder clays. The clay would have to be very soft or you would have to use the mold for something like chocolate before it held its shape. I have not spent much time yet with this mold so I might not be the person to ask.

I works great. Before you use it the first time just season it with Crisco so there is a slight film over the side you will be using (middle-between the sheets). It is probably the best tool you could get if you are going to roll fondant out for cakes. I wipe it down with a paper towel after use and store it rolled in the tube it came to keep it safe.

I don't think there would be a problem. If you have a master fondant figure head, you should have no problem making a mold with this putty if you're using casting resin or epoxy putty or anything that cures chemically.

I am not sure coz I have so far used it for fondant but I am guessing it should be ok.

The mold is clear, with indentations to represent the veins. If you were thinking of using it for an unusual valentines mold, it would work but be aware there are issues with whatever you put in it not coming out. Hope this helps :)

Yes it does. When making them keep confectioner sugar around,so it doesn't get to sticky in your hands. I have made many different things with the fondant. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Hi there I personally have not tried this but I think this would be a bit tricky. Can I suggest cutting the center with a round cutter and placing it on top of the sunflower/gerber daisy? The 2 levels may give it an extra dimension that may look good. I tried cutting centers out for the small cherry blossoms and it looked wonderful. check this link I found.http://cakecentral.com/g/i/1262453/buttercream-with-fondant-gerber-daisies-and-leaves-got-the-idea-from-the-pink-cake-box/

Hello, the entire rose is 2 3/4" wide and 1 1/2" high. This is really a beautiful mold. Every single rose I made came out perfect or almost perfect. I use my mold for polymer clay (Sculpey) and I have been very pleased with the results. It's a great size for a brooch or any other decorative purposed. I think that you would be very pleased with this mold. Have fun, Paola

Hey PT, I bought these diamond molds specifically for making truffles. This mold is perfect. The size is good and my truffles looked store bought. They have always tasted good but this is the first time they have looked so good. Let me know how it turns out.Teresa

I do believe that any mold will work although I have not tried it before...not much help I know - but it is worth a try if you have extra sugarveil - good luck!

When I put the fondant in the mold, I really work the fondant into the mold for a few minutes to make sure I got into all the nooks and crannies. Once done with that, I put the mold in my freezer for about 5 minutes or so. To remove the fondant from the mold, I gently twist the mold to loosen the fondant and it usually comes right out without any breakage or distortion.

If you mean to use the mold for chocolate, you have to add little amount of shortining to chocolate while melting. But if you use it for fondant or sugar paste, it won't break.

Yes absolutely! I put the fondanf/gum paste in the mold place it in the freezer for about ten minutes to set it and to make it easy to remove from mold.

I frosted the side where the two molds meet. The mold is designed with a base that is definitely strong enough to support the weight of the rest of the cake. It was fairly easy. I'd like to add that I did not use any recipe that came with it (I didn't even look for one), but made a sugar free yellow cake with bananas. It held up great for me, even through my clumbsy frosting work.

The cutters **do** cut smoothly, but that is dependent on making sure your fondant hasnt started drying out. So long as you keep your fondant batch covered while you work with the small amount to prep for cutting, you will be just fine.Im not really sure what you mean (Im having trouble picturing this for some reason)....but they are like pencils as far as the sides of the modeling tools...One of the things I do with modeling tools - where I have big monstrously muscular fingers, I actually put rubber grips on them... the same kind you would use to put a rubber grip on a pencil or pen.... that way I can actually grip it without having very sore fingers.

If you are using fondant, then the easist part is to make sure that you have a small sharp tool to pull it out from the edge. It should just roll out. I hope this helps.Richard

Approximately 3 inches in diameter at widest inside points. Depth is about one to one and a half inches depending on the rose level or just the heart. Love this mold for ease of removal of soap. It makes a lovely soap but the message limits the application for, say, a gift.
