Before using a silicone mold for cake decorating, ensure it is clean and dry, and apply a thin layer of cornstarch or powdered sugar inside to prevent sticking. Press the fondant or gum paste firmly into the mold, then carefully remove it to reveal the intricate lace pattern underneath. This article explores various techniques and tips for using silicone lace molds to enhance your cake decorating skills.
To use a silicone lace mold, roll out fondant or gum paste to desired thickness, press it firmly into the mold, and carefully peel back.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY I AM YOU MADE THIS article. My little cousin requested me to make her birthday cake and she wanted mermaid themed. And you are using the exact same mold that I have been struggling with the past 24 hours. After 2 hours of trial and error, I can attest that candy melts only come out whole from the snail shell and maybe the starfish, small coral and seahorse if you’re meticulous about it. But I still had bubbles after tapping and shaking. 🤷🏼♀️
I have a sea-theme cake to make in 3 days and I started preparing the mold shapes today, using gumpaste. What can I say… I took so much care and effort – I even made two-tone corrals in a coral colour. Even though I dusted the mold well with cornstarch and left them out to dry for hours, the corrals broke, and I had to glue the pieces with edible glue. It was the first time I’d used Wilton silicone molds. I wish I had sprayed non-stick grease instead of cornstarch. My greatest worry now is, how on earth am I going to lift them up – overturn them and stick them to the cake? Sorry guys, but personally don’t recommend this mold!!!!
Hey ladybug, another wonderful article. I am going to watch every single one of them. You are the best teacher. As I said previously in another article. My question to you is how long does it take for the fondant to dry? I just bought a new dehydrator. Would this help to ensure that they dry properly? If so, for how long would I keep them in there and at what setting? Setting I am a beginner but I won’t be for long. Thank you so very much!
I needed this exact article! If using these for cupcake toppers, could you put a lollipop type stick in them before they dry? I don’t have much experience with fondant so I’m not sure how to guarantee they will remain standing up on top of the cupcake. The toppers need to be added at the event after frosting. Thank you!
