FAQs

Is this mould dishwasher safe?

While many silicone moulds are dishwasher safe, we recommend hand-washing this item to preserve the fine details and extend its lifespan.

Can I use this with chocolate?

Yes, you can use melted chocolate in the mould. Allow it to set completely in the refrigerator before unmolding.

What is the best material to use with this mould?

Fondant, gum paste, marzipan, and tempered chocolate all work exceptionally well.

Can I put this mould in the oven?

This mould is primarily for decorating purposes and shaping; it is not recommended for high-heat baking.

How do I ensure the birds come out with sharp details?

Use a small rolling pin to press the fondant firmly into the mould and use a scraper to remove any excess material for a clean back.

Troubleshooting

Decoration sticks to the mould when removing

Lightly dust the inside of the mould with cornstarch or use a very thin layer of vegetable shortening before adding your medium.

Air bubbles appearing on the surface of the bird

Ensure you press the medium firmly into the fine details of the mould starting from the center and working your way outward.

Decoration loses shape when unmolding

Refrigerate or freeze the mould for 5-10 minutes after filling to firm up the medium before gently removing it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before your first use, wash the mould in warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly. To maintain the life of the silicone, avoid using sharp metal tools when removing shapes, as these can cut or scratch the inner surface. When cleaning, use a soft sponge or a gentle brush to remove residue from the fine indentations. Ensure the mould is completely dry before storing it flat in a cool, dry place to prevent warping or dust accumulation. This product is compatible with most standard sugarcraft mediums; however, avoid using it with abrasive or caustic cleaners that could degrade the food-grade silicone surface.
