Can you use the candy mold,soap mold etc. to form fondant then lay them on cookies for designs? Does this make since?
I saw a mold of praying hands, and thought how cute it would be for a cookie.

yes you can. just sift a little cornstarch in the mold before so you the fondant won't stick.

I use them a lot too. My favorite are the seashells for cakes. I also put them in the freezer to set.
You can also just use the chocolate melts instead of fondant.

I just bought some cute silicone ones at Joanne they are made for sculpey clay. One is pets, one has hands feet and faces, one is sea animals and the last is teddy bears. So cute! (they were on clearance for 2.97 too!)

I've also bought tons from Country Kitchen Sweet Art. Love them! In the future, I'll have to check out eBay first. (Can't believe I didn't think of that before? Duh! LOL icon_lol.gif )

Don't forget to take advantage of the clay molds too. I got some teddy bears, a bee hive, and some art deco designs. The teddy bears on by babyshower hatbox cake were done with clay molds.
