...you're not a goober!! You're a Kansas celebrity!
I love the molding idea, and had no idea it was that easy to create your own molds!

Can't wait for class - see you Monday!! thumbs_up.gif

I am going to have to try that. I am fairly new at cake decorating and am taking the last possible Wilton course now. I am looking for fun stuff to try next and this seems perfect.

BTW, I love your cakes and am going to try to re-create one similar to the circus cake you did for my daughters 2nd birthday. I'm sure I can't do nearly as good a job as you do but can't wait to try. I saw another CC member did it also and it turned out nice. You're obviously an inspiration to all of us novices.

How fun! Ok I have to know, did your husband sit there for an hour with that stuff around his hand? And how did you cut that open or did you cut 2 halves first?

I love your website, your cakes are gorgeous!!

Oooooh, I'm talking to a famous person. icon_biggrin.gificon_biggrin.gificon_biggrin.gif I thought you were awesome and definitely not a goober. BTW, what does a goober look like? icon_confused.gificon_lol.gificon_lol.gif Wow! You made it so easy. I had no idea so now I'm dying to try it. I'll start molding everything in my house. icon_biggrin.gif

Thanks for the video! thumbs_up.gif

Thanks, everybody!!

LOL -- yes, I put the stuff on his hand at about 11:00 one night and we sat down to watch SNL. Next thing I know, it's 1am and we've both been asleep and this stuff is still on his hand. ROFL He was able to pull his hand out without altering the mold, but I had to cut it in half to be able to get it off of the hardened chocolate.

Here's a pic of a quickie cake I did a couple years ago for Halloween using the same mold:

That's Amazing!...I could definately get into this sort of thing. I have a couple questions tho...with the molds, would I grease them before pressing in the object ...and or also would I grease it when I fill it with the liquid?. Is this plastique available at say a 'hobby lobby' or 'home depot' maybe?' Image

YEAH!! thanks so much! Bookmarked it! Will they keep them on their site indefinitely, do you know?

Is that "plastique" stuff designed for food product use? I bought some at JoAnn's that is for sculpey but I don't think I would want to use it on edibles....could contain lead or something......

I do not usually grease the objects or the molds. It will stick to paper products, but easily releases from metal, plastic, etc. The silicone plastique is food grade and there are more detailed instructions on this website: http://www.culinart.net/silicone.html


I've been doing these spots since May and so far, they are all still on the website. I'm not sure how long they'll leave them.

Cakebaker, Did you mold the lace applique on the wedding cake on your web site? I viewed a cake here a few days ago and she put fondant and the lace through a pasta machine. I've been searching for lace molds and have found only a few that I like. Plus they are very pricey. I'd like to make a bride shower cake for my daughter using the lace design in her dress. Any tips for lace molding? The fondant lace looks nice, however I'm wanting a lacey look - with open spaces. I didn't want to purchase a mold not knowing if these would give me the look I wanted.

Thanks again, everybody!

on the lace mold question -- I have made some lace molds and have several purchased ones. There aren't any that will leave you with lacey open spaces. You have to sit there with an exacto knife and cut those out yourself.
