Using First Impression Moulds
One of our favourite flower makers cake friend Yana, kindly did a picture tutorial for a couple of first impression moulds.
Crysanthemum Flower:
|
Take a small piece of paste and push it into the centre |
|
|
Take bigger piece and push it in to secure attach to the mold. |
|
|
Now take the rolling pin and roll it over applying some pressure until the mold start showing through |
|
|
Place more paste on top and tuck it under the top petals. You may have a bit of a bulge in the middle |
|
|
Roll over again to get nice finish, if too much paste use the spatula to remove the excess. |
|
|
Pop the mold into the freezer for 10-15 minutes. Flex the mold and remove the flower. |
Medallion:
|
For medallions I found it is best to repeat the shape.For the round one use a sausage of paste and place it in the outer dip part. |
|
|
Mold the edges first, making sure the pointy ends are tucked under. |
|
|
Now mold the middle section and give it a roll for even surface, remove extra with the spatula if required. |
|
|
Pop into the freezer for about 5 minutes. If the mold was already cold you may be able to peel it off straight away without distorting the shape. |
