can this be used for fondant?

Make sure when running say red fondant through the rollers then before switching to say white fondant to clean the rollers very well. (of course you knew this) the only problem which the attachment was that even though the rollers were cleaned so that I wouldn't see any red fondant when I put white fondant through red spots appeared so just make sure to do your best to clean it well. Beware of curling edges on your fondant after running it through. Other then that yes it works well.

One commenter noted that hers broke rolling fondant and when KitchenAid asked what she was rolling and she said "fondant" they told her doing so voided the warranty. So beware...

I wouldn't think it would work well for cake. They are pretty small. I used them to mold chocolate and some of the detail on the molds did not turn out. It suited my purpose but I think it would be hard to get the cake batter to keep the details.

yes, it says it can cover a 2 layer 8inch cake. If it is your first time using fondant I would get two just to be safe. Good Luck!

Not sure really what Fondant texture is like. I know they use it on cake (I've watched Cake Boss). But I don't see why you can't. It just won't be very big sheets of Fondant.

I have never tried fondarific YET, BUT I am planning to do a cake with it soon. I will update my post when I do!

I use an exacto knife on mine, I use for cutting gaskets and for cutting out stencils. Isn't fondant cake for decorating cakes? I'm not sure if this mat is food safe, you'd have to contact the manufacturer about that. This is a very nice cutting mat though.

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

I'm pretty sure they would work well for clay. I love them for fondant texture...... which is similar to clay.

If your intentions are to cover the pan itself with fondant, then yes you could. The detail should show through. The cars only measure 2 inches tall though. Not sure how fondant would look on the cup cake, probably not a lot of detail would show through. The pan is primarily a cup cake pan, Not a cake pan. The detail of cup cakes varies on type of cake batter you use in the pan. I hope this helped.

If you mean to use the mold for chocolate, you have to add little amount of shortining to chocolate while melting. But if you use it for fondant or sugar paste, it won't break.

I've never worked with fondant. It does make nice thin lasagna/ravioli sheets (about 3 inches wide).

You could but chocolate doesn't release as easily as fondant or gumpaste and comes out with more of a matte finish. An alternative would be modeling chocolate. To prevent sticking I find that using a light coat of shortening or spray as opposed to cornstarch or confectionary sugar works best. The pieces pop right out whereas it was a struggle with the cornstarch or sugar. Hope this helps!

I would not use it that way because the cheese or chocolate needs to be in the ceramic insert. Put some hot water in the metal pot, then the ceramic insert with your fondue. Works great. Stir every once in a while for even heating.

This is strictly for airbrush. Airbrush coloring is as thin as water so you would need to get a gel or paste coloring to use for fondant as this would definitely ruin your fondant and gumpaste. I am a professional and have been in the business for 17 years and I WOULD NOT use airbrush coloring for anything other than airbrushing. Good luck. :)

I use them for fondant! But I am sure you can use them for chocolate I would say put the piece in the freezer for 15mins let it get cold then put the chocolate in. As well as after put them in the fridge so they get cold and u can pop them out easily.

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.
