Using Fondant in IOD Moulds:

Step 1: Before using for the first time, wash your mould with mild soap and water. Dry completely and dust your Classic Elements mould with a little bit of cornstarch to keep the fondant from sticking.

Step 2: Push the fondant into the mould firmly.

Step 3: Use a modeling tool to remove the excess paste.

Step 4: Remove any stray pieces of paste by running your finger over the micro-rim of the mould.

Step 5: Flip the mould upside down and carefully peel the mould away from the fondant.

Step 6: Let the fondant pieces firm up a bit by letting it sit for 30-60 minutes.

Step 7: Repeat the same process with the Swag mould to create the small detail piece.

Step 8: Using, sugar glue, place the large fondant swags onto the cake tiers.

Step 9: Place the small detail piece to the swags on each of the tiers.

That is how you use and apply IOD Decor Moulds to your cake! I encourage you to try this on your cakes! It’s easy and fun!

Thank you so much Ashley! We’re so thankful to have you on the IOD Sugar Arts Design Team!
