I have been asked many times if the figures on my cakes are made from molds.
This started me thinking, if I could make molds, from the figures I have made, how quick and easy it would be to reproduce sugar crafted figures – not pieces that look manufactured by machines. This would be a new concept in molds for sugarcraft.
These new molds will produce figures that look hand made, making it quick and easy for beginners. The experienced cake decorator will be able to alter and adapt the finished figures for their own designs.
About The Molds
The molds are made from high quality
silicone and will not rip or tear under normal use. Before using, wash
in warm, soapy water. To dry quickly for re-use, use kitchen paper. Every
mold includes full instructions giving the size of the piece of paste to
use in grams and which colors to use to finish.
Using the Molds
Dust liberally with cornstarch,
shake, then turn over and tap out excess. Check the size piece of paste
you will need on the instruction sheet with the mold. Roll into a smooth
ball then flatten slightly into a shape similar to the mold making it easy
to push into all areas. Press into the shape. The paste should be flat
and level with the mold and should not be over the edge. If you have too
much paste it can be trimmed with the PME mold
paste trimmer, (if paste moves when doing this you could have double
imprints so remove paste and start again). Use a sawing action usually
from the center of the paste to try to avoid lifting it.
When ready to remove, twist mold
slightly, turn over and flex. If you have any difficulty, see hints and
tips.
Hints and Tips
I have found the best combination to use gumpaste or half flower paste half fondant.
Marzipan can be used but if too soft tylose powder can be added until the correct consistency is reached.
Choco-pan is excellent if you require a chocolate paste.
Always dust the mold with cornstarch then tap out excess.
If you are not getting enough detail, check that you are pressing in firmly and your paste is not too stiff. Deep and detailed areas e.g. bride’s headdress in wedding car mold can be corrected by placing a small piece of paste in first.
If the figure is not releasing easily, check no.1, 2 & 4 above. Beginners may find it easier to divide the molds into sections i.e. the teddy bear can have the head and body molded separately and then joined together on the cake.
Colouring
Icing can be colored with paste
color before placing in the mold. I like to dust the figures then paint
in any detail where needed. A selection of different size dusting and paintbrushes
will be useful.
Always rub powder
color well into brushes on kitchen paper, making sure there is NO loose
powder before applying to figure.
Some figures have very small eyes.
The best way to color is to dip the tip of a cocktail stick into black
paste colour, then touch sparingly onto face. Practice this on some spare
icing first. The black paste colour should be like a thick liquid and not
set. Only mark the eyes when the face has been colored.
Alternatively the figures can be painted. Again use dust colors (not paste) and mix with isopropyl alcohol (thinning solution) for best results. Good results will not be achieved with vodka or gin. Experiment with consistency of colors and brush size on spare paste before applying.
A FEW TIPS
FOR YOU:
A cake using
these dolls that I made for my daughter's graduation LINK
Shared by Melanie Mc. I can't remember who originally posted it (sorry, because I like to give credit to authors). I think there have been several variations posted but maybe someone else will post another one, too.
1 lb Ivory
Coating
chocolate
1/2 Cup
glucose
2 Tbs..
ice cold water
Gently melt coating. Stir in glucose and mix lightly. Add water. Stir together (don't over mix). Cover w/ plastic wrap and allow to ripen overnight. Next day knead well, cover, and allow to set overnight.
NOTES : (From my message board)
Help with candy clay.
I'm not too sure what I'm doing wrong, but my candy clay has a lot of corn syrup after I try mixing it. I use the recipe 14 oz candy melts and 1/3 cup light corn syrup. I heat up the candy till it melted and stick it in a kitchen aid then pour in the corn syrup. Am I supposed to heat up both ingredients and then mix it? Thanks anyone for their help! Kanani
When I make candy clay I melt the candy then add the corn syrup all in one pot just stir it with a wooden spoon it will come together then pour on wax paper and let sit. Don't over stir or the fat in the candy will start to separate. Lisa
I think that was my problem I was over stirring. It was like the corn syrup wouldn't mix in with the melted candy. Thanks so much! I'll try again. Kanani
I recently attended a demo at our day of sharing in Missouri and learned "milk" the clay until all the oil is out of it, I have made the flowers this way and the old way with all the oil, I much prefer the new way. You can air brush the flowers or use dusting powders. They look like gumpaste when the oil is removed. Try both ways, The "milked" clay does take a lot of squeezing. but you will be pleasantly surprised. Janette
Are you talking just squeezing out the oil in the candy? And if you are when do you do this when you make the candy or after its set? Lisa
I'm wondering how you do that? Is there instruction somewhere or a recipe that called for how to do that? Thanks! Kanani
When you stir the syrup in it you
start squeezing and squeezing until all the oil is gone. I will feel very
stiff, When you are ready to use it knead it with your hands until warmed
up or heat in microwave for a second or two. Jane
COOKED MARZIPAN
Marzipan
cooked
3 cups
sugar
1 cup water
4 cups
ground blanched almonds
For cooked Marzipan add the sugar to the water in a saucepan and cook until the sugar is dissolved. Add the almonds and cook it until the batter stops sticking to the pan. Remove from heat and place onto a marble slap, wooden board or a sheet pan. While still warm knead first with a wooden spatula and then by hand until smooth. Store in an airtight container or plastic bag.
