does this fondant work well and keep it's shape when sculpting figures, animals etc?

I used this fondant for my daughter's birthday cake. I LOVED the way it rolled out and became very pliable, and it tasted SO much better than the wilton stuff. However, when it came using the fondant for cutouts (I had star wars cookie cutters and wanted to use fondant for the shapes) it was really soft. Maybe I had just worked it for too long, I don't know. I ended up using wilton for the decorations. Maybe you could put it in the fridge for awhile before you tried making figures? That might help.

This fondant never firms up so you'll find your sculptures won't hold there shape. Although its my least favorite for covering cakes, I find Wilton's works better for sculptures since it dries better

Yes it does. When making them keep confectioner sugar around,so it doesn't get to sticky in your hands. I have made many different things with the fondant. Hope this helps. Good luck!

I didn't use it for sculpting...but based on how dry it was and how difficult it was to roll out I would think no..it wouldn't work well. You would probably be better off using modeling chocolate.

I have used it tomake "wooden" planks, flowers, leaves, a sleeping baby under a blanket, bands, ribbons etc. It holds shape well, but you will probably want to allow 2-3 days drying time in a vented container. If youre in a time crunch, you can use tylose powder to dry quicker and stiffer, but I wouldn't recommend tylose for any figure or pieces you will need to bend later.

I know about fondant, you are beyond my baking skill set. Once it uncurls and lays flat it pretty well stays put. It is not flimsy, it is a substantial mat. Now I am comparing this to mats I' seen in retail outlets. Hope this helps.

For decorating cakes it is perfect and can go fast but not like a clay or pottery wheel. It would not be for a long time either. It stops as soon as anything would touch it.

While I can't give you an exact time frame, I know it will last a month or two if properly stored. The instruction sheet included in the bucket with the fondant explains it, but it's really just powdered sugar and marshmallow so it won't spoil, though it could dry out. A coat of cristco and a few layers of plastic wrap should keep it ready for use without drying out. If it did dry you could just peel off the dry layer and the inside should be good (if you knead it in the fondant will never be smooth).

Yes, that is what the mold is made for that is why it is called a Flower Fondant Mold. Very nice molds to make quick beautiful designs with.

I don't know about Sculpey. I've used it with fondant and gumpaste and it works great. I have to sprinkle some corn starch on the old first or the decoration won't come out clean. If you try a corn starch sprinkle it might work.

I have never dealt with fondant or gum paste but the angel mold is flexible. I used it for hot soap and when the soap cooled I was able to pull the mold from around the soap to make the perfect angel. It is also good for chocolate making so if fondant and gum paste is anything like chocolate making you should be good with this mold.

It's perfect for fondant cakes. I used a little bit of piping gel and it worked great. If you use water, just lightly dampen it because the paper will melt. Also, water will make the paper curl.

it has that slight vanilla color.I dont think it would be a strong enough flavor enhancer for fondant.

I've never made a Fondant. What I can tell you is that this will make a dough that is a maximum 5/64" thick and a maximum of 5-5/8" wide.

I got the cricut cake for my birthday and I have been able to use it for both. I bought a separate mat and a deep blade housing and blades. You have to play around with the settings depending on the thickness of your paper and what not but I was happy with the way it cut fondant and paper.

I'm not sure but is silicone and it peels off of fondant so it might work. sorry wish I could be more help

Not likely. You're better off to use melted (and then cooled so it won't be too soft) yellow-colored chocolate to pipe onto the fondant.Good luck, Karla

I use my mould with air dry clay not fondant, but you can dust it with alittle icing sugar or corn starch, then firmly press paste into mould, smoothing in circular motions until it is level with top of mould. Peel out by bending the mould back on both sides to stretch it open. Make sure it is flat or the required shape and let dry. There are Utube videos on these also, hope this helps.

Take the gum paste or fondant may not be very soft is better an as firm and strong not too dry.Push in, covering all the mould with enough paste.And the paste that comes out on cutting it with a knife, trying that when you pushing into this have to be firm and you could mark the face and the body.

Yes, it could be use as fondant or a soap mold because it is made from silicone.

Hi, the answer is yes and no. I do cut on it and it does self heal without any problems as long as they are not deep cuts and made carefully without too much pressure. I did damage the first one I bought by making some deep cuts (through and through) applying excessive pressure with an exact-o blade on it (I was cutting out deep letters). So as long as the cuts are made with care without excessive pressure the superficial cuts do heal and wont leave marks on the fondant when rolling it. hope this helps.
