FAQs

Can I use this mould with hot boiled sugar?

Yes, the high-quality silicone is designed to be compatible with boiled sugar.

Are the finished brooches food safe?

Yes, provided you use food-grade mediums like sugarpaste, marzipan, or chocolate.

How do I ensure the back of the brooch is flat?

Always trim the back of the filled mould with a palette knife held at a 90-degree angle to the surface of the silicone.

Can I put this mould in the dishwasher?

It is recommended to hand wash the mould in warm, soapy water to maintain the integrity of the fine details.

What is the size of the largest design?

The individual brooch designs range from 11mm to 39mm in size.

Troubleshooting

Paste is sticking to the mould and breaking upon release

Increase the amount of cornflour dust used to coat the mould and ensure the paste is not too soft or sticky.

Fine details are not appearing on the finished brooch

Apply firmer, even pressure when pressing the paste into the mould and check that the paste is pushed fully into the deepest recesses.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-detail finishes suitable for professional-quality cakes
  • Extremely versatile with both edible and craft materials
  • Compact and easy to store
  • Intuitive to use for beginners and advanced decorators alike

Cons

  • Requires practice to achieve consistent results with delicate pastes
  • Size is limited to the specific dimensions of the brooch designs
  • Cleaning fine crevices can be tedious if sugar paste dries inside

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare the mould, lightly dust the interior with cornflour or icing sugar, tapping out the excess to prevent sticking. Press your chosen medium firmly into the desired brooch impression, ensuring it reaches all the fine recessed areas. Use a sharp palette knife to trim away excess material level with the surface of the mould. To release, gently flex the silicone away from the edges and let the brooch drop onto a clean worktop. For cleaning, hand wash the mould in warm, soapy water after each use. Avoid using abrasive sponges that may scratch the silicone surface, and ensure the mould is completely dry before storing it in a flat position to prevent warping.
