I want to get one online but I'm not sure which size to get. TIA

I use the 8mm size almost exclusively for borders. Not too big, not too small.

Thanks Costume. I've been wondering myself!

I really like the First Impressions silicone that has 6,8 and 10 mm all together. The price is about the same as the one that is only 8mm. I use the 8mm most often though.

I use 8mm and 5mm depending on the cake.

I use the blue double-sided mold, press out about 5 strings of them (100 pearls) at a time, then re-roll them. It makes them look better than if you just take them out of the mold and put them directly on the cake. I can do them in advance then just put them on the cake as I need them. It takes a little longer, but I've gotten fast now. I can do about 400 pearls, enough for an average cake, in about an hour. It's my tv-watching activity.

What do you mean by re-rolling them? Also, what do you use fondant, gumpaste or a mix? How far in advance can they be made? I was hoping maybe several weeks but I wondered if they would get to hard and you could not put them on a curved side. Do you dust the mold with anything to make them look like pearls? What would be best to use when using white MMF. Sorry for all the questions! Thank you! !

I have the 8mm. I like making big cakes and to me, I feel ike 8mm is so drawrfed out. I prefer 10mm.
