Hi all,

So here's the thing... I bought a house on the hill cookie mould and it looked from the pictures like it was silicone. Anyways it arrived tonight and its made of wood so clearly I wasn't paying attention when I made the purchase.

I've seen some videos about how to use them with springerle cookies by simply pressing the mould down on top of the dough. Been looking all over the net to see how exactly to use it for sugar paste to go on top of cupcakes but I can't seem to find anything. Has anybody used these for sugar paste, is it done the same way? I know the best is to just try it I guess but the moulds aren't cheap so I was hoping somebody would know before I clog up the mould and ruin it.

Thanks in advance!

Hello!  The molds from House on the Hill are resin (that are painted to look like wood).  You really can't hurt them.  If stuff gets stuck, just scrub it out.  I use them for Springerle cookies and I mold mints with them.  I would try dusting your gumpaste or fondant with some powdered sugar before pressing into the mold.  Should work like a charm.
