Okay, was so excited I bought the molds to make the figure people, had a horrible time, they stuck the first time, pulled them out put crisco in the molds, but could not get them to go flat so that they would stick together.How do I flatten them out. Also was wondering how to color the figurines. Thank you so much. icon_confused.gif

Here's a bump for you. I bought one of the polymer clay molds and can't get my fondant to come out correctly without messing up the shape of the figure. Maybe someone will help us.

I have not done this personally, but I read on here that some spray pam into the molds. They say the figurine will pop right out! HTH some, Jen

You can put some cornstarch in a knee high, and use that to powder your mold with cornstarch to keep the fondant/gumpaste from sticking. I'm not sure how to go about cleaning the crisco from there. I wouldn't use pam/criscon because you don't want that residue on your finished product. As for getting smooth backs, use a putty/spackling knife or something like it. Be a little forceful, and using the mold scrape away the excess. It takes a little practice to know how strong you need to be, but after a while, you'll get the hang of it.

Not sure I know what I'm talking about but could you line the mold with plastic wrap?

Pop the molds in the freezer for 1-2 min. The fondant items will pop right out! icon_smile.gif
