Twelve Realistic Leaves, Pressed in Minutes
Hand-cutting leaf after leaf eats your baking night. This silicone mould gives you 12 veined, serrated shapes in one press, so your floral cake looks finished and you get your evening back.
Twelve leaves, varied sizes, one tray
- Twelve shapes, mixed sizes
The tray holds 12 leaf cavities in a rectangular layout. Cavity lengths run from 3 cm to 3.8 cm, so small and large leaves come from the same press. A floral tier usually needs both sizes, and you never swap tools mid-cake. Pair the mould with a cake leveler for a flat base to build on.
- Vein and edge detail
Fine veins and serrated edges are cut into the silicone, so fondant and gum paste pick up the same relief. Press firmly and the vein lines show on every leaf, including the small ones. Paste that is firm and slightly dry gives the sharpest result.
- Flexible for easy release
The soft matte silicone bends enough to lift each leaf without tearing the edges. It is food grade, runs in the dishwasher and holds up in the fridge, so cleanup between orders takes minutes.
From dough to detailed leaf in four steps
- 1Roll the paste
Roll fondant or gum paste to an even thickness. Thin, uneven sheets press unevenly and lose the vein lines.
- 2Dust the cavities
Dust the cavities lightly with cornflour or icing sugar. This keeps the paste from sticking to the silicone.
- 3Press firmly
Press the paste into the cavities with your fingers or a small roller so every vein and serration takes the impression.
- 4Lift from the base
Flex the silicone gently and lift each leaf from its base. Pulling from the thin tip can stretch or snap the edges.

Questions and answers
The cavities run 3 cm to 3.8 cm long, which suits leaves that sit beside piped flowers on a tier. A tier usually needs a batch of foliage, and one tray gives 12 leaves per press. Press a full tray, lift, and repeat until the tier is covered.
Yes, as long as the paste is firm and slightly dry. Wet paste sticks and tears, which blurs the veins. Dust the cavities with cornflour or icing sugar, press firmly, and lift each leaf from its base. The smallest veins need the firmest press.
The mould is made from food grade silicone. It is safe for oven, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator use, and it is suitable for cakes, bread, mousse, jelly, chocolate and similar foods. Wash it in warm soapy water before the first use.
A plain cutter gives one outline per cut, and you still add veins by hand. This tray gives 12 shapes in mixed sizes, and the veins and serrated edges come from the mould itself. If you already keep a drawer of professional cake decorating tools, this replaces the leaf part of it.
Yes. The product is suitable for chocolate and candy, along with cakes and jelly. Melted candy melt sets cleanly in the cavities, so one mould covers cake decorations and sweets.
