Hello guys!!! So I’ve been having this issue; whenever I make fondant pearls using my pearl mold, it always breaks when I try to remove the fondant from the mold. I can’t see to even get 3 pearls out of the mold. I see people on YouTube making pearls as long as 15-20cm, I can’t even get mine to be as long as 5cm. Is this because my fondants too dry?
Thank you!
It sounds to me like you fondant is not soft enough. Try adding a bit more shortening to it - but go easy, it's going to take some testing to see just how much will be the right amount.
I have a Wilton pearl mold, and when I use it, I pop that sucker in the freezer for about a min. Comes out with no problem.
i agree with both ladies, it sounds like your fondant needs more kneading and/or moisture. You can also add a little glycerine to rejuvenate your fondant and gum paste. I also have the Wilton mold and always put it in the freezer for just a few minutes. I do the same with all my molds, regardless of the medium - gum paste, fondant, modeling chocolate - and it works a charm.
