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.
