I LOVE this product from Marvelous Molds and I've finally had the time to sit down and play with it and perfect my technique.
My first few tries were incredibly frustrating. I watched several instructional videos, all done by different people and they made it look so easy....I however....ya, I had a few issues. My biggest problem was how to get a clean sharp cut edge. Finally I realized that fondant and gum paste has to be rolled thin so that the silicone mold cuts through completely. Once I figured that out, I was golden.
(There's a little gold spot on my white fondant, this was FIXED prior to the event)
For this cake I used 50/50 mix (fondant/gumpaste) and colored it a deep yellow then painted it gold with Aztec Gold luster dust. It took a few coats to get the shade of gold I was looking for but it went much faster than expected.
So at the end of the day, I really enjoy this product my only complaint is price! My heavens they are so over priced its silly. I paid around $28 bucks for a flimsy little piece of silicone.
