Dragon Silicone Mould - Cake Decorating

Using a dragon silicone mould can add a fantastical and intricate touch to your baked goods or other creations. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use it effectively:

Instructions for Using a Dragon Silicone Mould:

1. Prepare the Mould:

   • Ensure the silicone mould is clean and dry before use. If necessary, wash it with warm soapy water and let it air dry.

2. Grease the Mould (Optional):

   • For some recipes, it might be helpful to lightly grease the mould with a small amount of Sno Creme, particularly if the mould is highly detailed.

3. Prepare Your Medium:

   • Depending on what you’re making (cake, chocolate, fondant, etc.), prepare your medium. For example:
     • For Chocolate: Melt your chocolate to a smooth consistency.
     • For Fondant: Knead and soften your fondant.

4. Fill the Mould:

   • For Chocolate or Fondant:
     • Pour the melted chocolate into the mould, tapping it gently to remove air bubbles.
     • Press fondant firmly into the mould, ensuring it gets into all the detailed areas.

5. Remove Air Bubbles:

   • Gently tap the mould on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles, which helps ensure a smooth finish.

6. Set or Bake:

   • For Chocolate or Fondant: Allow the chocolate to set in the refrigerator or leave the fondant at room temperature until firm.

7. Cool and Demould:

   • For Chocolate or Fondant: Once set, gently peel back the silicone mould to release the dragon shape.

8. Decorate:

   • After removing the dragon shape from the mould, you can add additional decorations, paint details, or dust with edible shimmer for an enhanced effect.

Tips for Best Results:

• Temperature: Ensure your medium is at the right temperature; chocolate should be melted but not too hot, fondant should be pliable.
• Patience: Take your time when pressing fondant or other materials into the mould to capture all the fine details.
• Storage: Store your silicone mould properly, away from direct sunlight and sharp objects, to maintain its shape and longevity.

By following these steps, you can create stunning dragon-themed decorations that will impress and delight. Enjoy your crafting
