I found this seller on ebay who sells molds and these bows are so cute!
Here is her selling page:

I ordered a bunch of them for use with fondant... they are not flexible but I am hope they will work. *** I know there is much debate regarding whether or not this is 'food safe' so I am going to push these in the mold with a layer of saran between the two for sanitary reasons and easy removal! I emailed her and she said she sells to alot of cake decorators. She was so kind and combined and discounted my shipping big time ![]()
I figured I would tell all my CC friends about her before she figures out she could charge alot more and market toward the cake decorating crowd rather than merely clay crafts. ![]()
I certainly hope so
The mold os hard (not flexible) so I think it will work ok... and I can't take credit for the saran idea since I read it here a while back.
I think if the mold were flexible it won't give sharp corners, etc.. but if you look at the rose mold, it is really neat.... I can't believe how good the petals lood. Some of the molds I saw looked just like playdough afterwards.... really thick and sort of yucky........ I really hope these work!
I've bought "hard" molds in the past.
I lightly grease the mold and then use plaster in it or a clay that will harden. Sometimes I sink a small paper clip in the back to help with removal.
Once I get a hard impression of what I want I then take THAT hard copy and use my silicone plastique to make a flexible food grade mold.
I'm not sure that if you use plastic wrap you will get a crisp impression.
What do I use to make a flexible, food grade mold? I would be down for doing that but I couldn't find the plaster (or whatever the correct name is) to make the food grade mold.... thanks ![]()
You can find plaster at any good craft store. Ac Moore might have it.
You buy Silicone Plastique to make food grade molds. I've bought it from sugarcraft.

Thanks for the info. Those molds are so cute. I might buy one and test it with the saran wrap as you mentioned.
Thanks again!
I have bought from this seller before for molds and they work fine.As long as you dust the mold a bit first.
