Step 1: Gather Your Materials
To begin decorating fondant cookies with silicone moulds, you will need:
-
Silicone moulds: Choose moulds that are food-grade and safe for use with fondant. Silicone moulds are available in a variety of shapes and designs, such as flowers, animals, letters, and numbers.
-
Fondant: You will need fondant to cover the cookies. Choose a fondant that is easy to work with and has a good taste.
-
Cookie cutters: Use cookie cutters to cut the fondant into the desired shape and size.
-
Rolling pin: You will need a rolling pin to roll out the fondant to the desired thickness.
-
Cornflour: Use cornflour to dust your work surface and prevent the fondant from sticking.
-
Edible glue: Use edible glue to attach the fondant to the cookie.
Step 2: Preparing the Fondant
Before using the fondant, make sure it is at room temperature. Knead the fondant to make it pliable and easy to work with.
Step 3: Using the Silicone Mould
Dust the silicone mould with cornflour/cornstarch. Press the fondant firmly into the silicone mould. Remove the excess fondant carefully. If the fondant sticks to the mould, re do the above and add more cornflour/cornstarch.
Step 4: Attaching the Fondant
To attach any decoration to your fondant sugar cookie it is best to use edible glue. Brush the fondant with edible glue, and then place your decoration onto the cookie.
