Create some beautiful sugar butterflies with the Butterfly Mould Small! Made from silicone, this mould is perfect for working with a range of materials, especially fondant and gumpaste. The butterflies measure at approximately 3.5cm x 3cm.Usage Instructions: Simply press your material into the mould and try not to overfill Slice away any excess with the back edge of a knife so you don't damage your mould. Once your mould has a flat back, carefully flex the mould to remove it and allow to dry, preferably on baking paper to prevent sticking. To decorate, either use coloured fondant initially or use edible paint, lustre dusts or petal dusts to colour the outside of your piece. Tips & Tricks: Moulds can be 'lightly' wiped with cooking oil, but be sure to remove any excess. If the icing is too sticky or limp, lightly knead in some cornflour or icing sugar (for fondant or gumpaste). For large and detailed moulds, place filled mould in the freezer for a few minutes to harden so the detail holds when removing. If painting your item, petal dust and rose spirit is rec ommended as it dries quickly and prevents fondant and gumpaste.
