FAQs

Can I use this mould for both cakes and resin crafts?

Yes, but it is crucial to separate the mould's use. If you use it with non-edible mediums like resin, it is no longer food-safe. For best practice, use a dedicated mould for edible projects.

What are the exact dimensions of the flowers and leaves?

Small Flower: 26mm (approx. 1 inch) diameter. Medium Flower: 41mm (approx. 1.6 inches) diameter. Large Flower: 43mm (approx. 1.7 inches) diameter. Small Leaf: 29mm x 14mm (approx. 1.1 x 0.6 inches). Medium Leaf: 32mm x 16mm (approx. 1.3 x 0.6 inches). Large Leaf: 40mm x 20mm (approx. 1.6 x 0.8 inches).

How do I get the best release from the mould?

Lightly dust the mould with cornflour (cornstarch) or rub it with a small amount of food-safe vegetable shortening (like Trex) before pressing in your material. This will help your creations release smoothly.

Is the mould safe to put in the dishwasher?

Yes, the mould is dishwasher safe, making clean-up convenient.

Can I bake my sugarpaste creations directly in this mould?

Yes, the mould is oven safe up to 200°C (180°C fan/Gas Mark 6) when used with food-safe mediums.

What kind of materials can I use with this mould?

You can use a wide range of edible materials like fondant, gum paste, and modelling chocolate, as well as non-edible materials such as resin, clay, hot glue, and soap.

Where is this mould made?

This mould is designed, sculpted, and manufactured in the UK by Katy Sue Designs.

Troubleshooting

Material sticking to the mould

Ensure the mould was adequately dusted with cornflour or lightly greased with a food-safe vegetable fat before adding the material. Try using a different release agent if the issue persists.

Details not coming out clearly

Press the material firmly and evenly into all crevices of the mould. Ensure the material is pliable enough to capture fine details. For very intricate designs, allow the material a moment to set slightly before releasing.

Mould retains colour after use with non-edible mediums

This is normal. To avoid colour transfer to edible mediums, dedicate separate moulds for food and non-food use, or ensure thorough cleaning if switching between uses (though dedicated moulds are recommended).

Mould feels stiff or brittle

Avoid using sharp objects to remove material. Store the mould flat and away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to preserve its flexibility.
