« Part 6: Candle Cake Part 7 of Tutorial series Part 8: Making Mould and Embossing with Wood Flourishes »

So … I know how hard and expensive can be to make or buy moulds. So…. I make my own with leftover of fondant and tylose. It doesn’t last long but if you have a plastic original you can always make it again and again…. ;)
You may ask me how much tylose…well that will depend how quick you will need your mould. ;)
I have a online video now thanks to Learn Cake Decorating online ;)http://www.learncakedecoratingonline.com/#oid=5_1

Verusca, those look brilliant! But I think I need a few more steps to join the dots and understand how you made the tyres and the shells. I’m too much of a novice ….

Awesome idea Verusca! How doesn’t have left over fondant that we all end up throwing away cause it dried out?
