How to Use Petalears You can use your Petalear with gumpaste, modelling chocolate and sugarpaste. The following is a loose guide, appropriate for sugarpaste/fondant. Do not fill the mould to the top of the blade that rises up around the mould cavity. The mould should be filled to the top of the cavity which is level with the lip and the point where the blade starts to rise from the surface of the mould. People willnaturaly fill a mould to what they think is the top. If you fill to the top of the blade, the resulting piece will be too thick and not the way it was designed. Put cornstarch (corn flour) in a nylon/musline stocking and tie shut to make what we call a pounce. Roll out fondant/sugarpaste to the appropriate thickness, dust lightly with corn flour and put the dusted side down onto the mould. Press with the palm of your hand and use fingertips to force fondant into all the details. The blade will already start to cut the fondant. Take a light rolling pin and roll across the top of the mould. Do not press hard; light, quick strokes work the best and enable the blade to perform perfectly! Once the fondant has been trimmed and the excess is taken away, press the fondant again real quick and then place your finger on the side of the blade and press it sideways towards the cavity, and down into the cavity. This removes any little bits of fondant flashing and makes a perfect edge. The great quality silicone that Marvelous Moulds are known for is easy to bend whilst possessing high durability, so removing your petals will be a breeze each time.
