How to use silicone moulds with fondant
Whichever you use, it doesn’t matter, the process is always the same.
- Knead the fondant well and make sure it has the right consistency.
- Sprinkle a little cornstarch or use your finger to cover the hole in the mould you want to use with cornstarch.
- Take the fondant and fill in the hole.
- Use a rolling pin to smooth the back, which will not show.
- Cut off the excess, you can use a tool or your hand.
- Finally, take out the piece.
TIPS:
- Stretch the mold without fear so as not to deform the piece. The mold is silicone, so don’t worry, it won’t break.
- If you don’t want to use cornstarch, you can use a bit of vegetable fat or non-stick spray. But always in small quantities.
- Put it in the freezer for a minute, to remove it more easily without spoiling it.
- Remember to always clean the mold very well. Remnants of fondant or other materials can spoil the following creations.
