Earlene Moore's Enhanced Fondant Lace Tutorial

"I consider lace to be one of the prettiest imitations ever made of the fantasy of nature; lace always evokes for me those incomparable designs which the branches and leaves of trees embroider across the sky, and I do not think that any invention of the human spirit could have a more graceful or precise origin."

~ Coco Chanel~

This tutorial, by Earlene Moore, shows us how to use her wonderful, new, enhanced lace molds -

WHAT MAKES THESE MOLDS DIFFERENT?

Designs are already over piped for you to give you more dimension in the lace pattern.

Bottom (blank) pattern on each mold for marking your sugar dough.




"Blade" around the top of each design for trimming your sugar dough fast and easy.
The firm ridge around the top of each design is what is called the "blade"



HOW TO USE ENHANCED LACE MOLDS -

1. Roll out the dough slightly thicker than the thickness for flowers. I normally do flower petals on the #5 setting on my pasta machine. The #4 thickness is good for the lace pieces. All pasta machines are not created equal - yours may be better on another thickness setting.
If you don't have a pasta machine, you can roll the dough out between 2 - 1/8" skewers Then roll it thinner - to about 1/2 that thickness





2. Imprint design outline using the back of the mold on your sugar dough. Imprint multiple patterns to cut apart





3. Cut around one imprinted design.







4. Very Important
Dust the bottom side of the sugar dough to be placed down into the mold with a knee hi stocking filled with cornstarch.
Don't dust the mold - dust the sugar dough

Lay rolled sugar piece on top of the mold - cornstarch dusted side down.




5. Using a small rolling pen - roll over the top of this sugar piece multiple times with light pressure until "blade" has trimmed the mold






6. Remove excess dough from around the mold





7. Press around the edges of the mold rolling the fingers in toward the center as your press firmly



8. Press firmly over the entire surface to imprint the design into your sugar piece.





If more detail is needed try using a stencil brush with a rubber band around the bristles of the brush


9. To remove the sugar piece from the molds. Turn the mold upside down on a clean surface. Encourage one edge to begin to release the dough and roll back the mold away from the dough.
Scrunch the molded piece if you need it to be a little smaller. Stretch it slightly if you need it a little larger.

Troubleshooting Tips:

If you don't get enough detail it could be
1. You didn't press hard enough
2. Your sugar dough was to firm
You can always place the sugar piece
back into the mold and press firmer.
Because the pattern to these molds is significant -
the sugar paste will fit right back into the pattern.
Molds can be used with Isomalt, fondant,
gumpaste, chocolate and more
Handy Tip:

If you want to mold a chocolate piece
with the silicone molds
- warm the mold before filling
with warm chocolate.

Extending Design Elements:

Using individual elements in the molds and Enhancing the designs.
All the molds have elements in them that can be used separately as a design enhancer.

Here are the steps to this cake design elements.




1. Imprint just the portion of the mold you will need.

2. Press into the mold

3. Trim around the design element needed angling in with a cutting wheel.



4. Neaten up the edges with the cutting wheel or a dresden/veining tool.



On the above photo, the full mold is used for the sides, but only the tip of the "Carolyn" mold is used for the next row up.
The bottom half of the mold is used for the center fill in design.



The only mold used on this entire cake was the "Carolyn" enhanced mold.

ELEMENTS IN LACE MOLDS -

When purchasing a lace mold - look for all of the elements in that mold that can be separated and used independently

TUTORIAL FOR DOGWOOD LACE AND SINGLE DAISY APPLIQUE


Hello, my name is Vivian, and I am new to cake decorating. I started one year ago and can’t seem to get enough of it! I love discovering new products and techniques, and I am honored to be a part of the DTC Product Test Group. Like many of you, this is my first time working with a lace & appliqué mold, and I look forward to trying it out and creating this tutorial.

Materials Needed:
· Your choice of Fondant, gumpaste, or modeling chocolate (I did it with fondant)
· Rolling Pin
· X-Acto Knife
· Shortening
· Mold


1. Start with a small piece of fondant. Lightly grease your hands with shortening and work the fondant to soften, until pliable.
2. Roll out the fondant with a rolling pin on a non-stick surface or pasta machine to #2 or 3.


3. Trim the fondant to the size of the mold. Place the fondant over the base mold and press gently with your fingers, making sure to push the uneven edges into the mold until smooth.


4. Put the top part of mold above the fondant and press down gently, and then remove it.


5. Turn the mold over and gently bend it back, letting the lace or appliqué fall out.
6. Trim any excess fondant with an X-Acto Knife.


7. Now you have a beautiful piece of lace and appliqué to decorate your cake.


Tips and Tricks:

• If your fondant sticks to the mold while trying to remove it, put the mold into the freezer for a couple of minutes to firm up. Another way to keep it from sticking is to dust cornstarch on both sides of the fondant before putting it into the mold.
• Dust your lace or appliqué with an edible luster or pearl dust in order to give it a more elegant look.
• To apply the lace or appliqué to your buttercream or fondant cake, use an edible glue (like thinned royal icing, gumglue, buttercream, or water) as an adhesive.
• If you would like to be a bit more creative, it is very easy to change the look while using the same mold. For example, with this Dogwood Lace, I broke-off the flowers on each end to make a smaller lace pattern, and now I can use the flowers as accents pieces.
