What You Need

Steps to Use the Baby Foot Silicone Mold
1. Prepare Your Work Area
Start by cleaning your work surface and gathering all the necessary materials. Dust your work area lightly with cornstarch or powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
2. Condition Your Fondant
If your fondant is stiff, knead it until it’s soft and pliable. This will help it fit into the mold easily.
3. Roll Out the Fondant
Using a rolling pin, roll out the fondant to about 1/4 inch thick. Make sure it’s even to ensure a good impression in the mold.
4. Fill the Mold
Press the rolled fondant into the baby foot mold. Make sure to press it down firmly to capture all the details of the mold. You can use your fingers or a tool to smooth the fondant inside the mold.
5. Remove Excess Fondant
Using a sharp knife or fondant tool, trim away any excess fondant from the edges of the mold for a clean finish.
6. Let the Fondant Set
Allow the fondant to sit in the mold for a few minutes to firm up. This will make it easier to remove without losing its shape.
7. Demold the Fondant
Gently peel the silicone mold away from the fondant. If you dusted with cornstarch or powdered sugar, this should be easy. If the fondant sticks, you can use a small tool to help release it.
8. Decorate as Desired
Once you have your baby foot fondant piece, you can decorate it further using food coloring, edible glitter, or other decorations to match your theme.
Tips for Best Results
- Use fresh fondant for better moldability.
- If your fondant is too dry, it may crack in the mold.
- Experiment with different colors and finishes to enhance your decorations.
- Clean your mold with warm soapy water after use to maintain its quality.
