Food Molds?

[Derek]

I have a mold making that I'm going to use and make a mold for the first time, But I have a question?


Ok if I use this mold for fondant, How do I prevent the fondant piece from sticking to the model & tasting like pam if I used something like pam?

just like with baking, if you give your mold a very light coating of cooking spray, then dust it with your desired dry ingredient. when the fondet sets, and is able to come out of the mold, dust off the powdered sugar or blow it off...should work...

Thanks Bam,

It is very hard to know what you are talking about. Fondant is not only used as a candy filling but also to decorate cake. The two are somewhat different.

Hi Sue, The fondant I'm talking about is the kind you can play with like modeling clay, Playdo.

I believe if you purchased a can of fondant, you bought something that is used to decorate cakes. It has a sweet marshmallowy flavor and can be dyed different colors.
