Mini Butterfly Fondant Mold for Cake Decorating Toppers

Three butterflies, one mold, every size

• Three sizes in one press

  The three cavities step down in size, so one mold covers a full topper set. Pair the large and small butterflies on a single cupcake or fan all three across a tier. The largest butterfly spans about 7.5 cm, which suits cupcake tops and small cake accents.

• Wing veins that show up in sugar

  The embossed vein relief transfers into fondant and sugar paste, so every wing carries the same fine lines. Sample pieces in yellow and pink show crisp veins and body detail straight from the cavity.

Press, firm, release in three steps

1. 1
   Press firm paste into the cavity

   Dust the cavity lightly with cornstarch, then press firm fondant or sugar paste into each butterfly. Smooth the back flat with a finger or palette knife.

2. 2
   Let it firm up briefly

   Give the paste a few minutes to set so the wings hold their shape. Wet or sticky paste pulls into the veins and tears on release.

3. 3
   Flex the mold and release

   Bend the silicone gently from the back so the butterfly pops out evenly. Lifting from a single wing stretches the thin edges.

Easy to clean, easy to keep

• Warm soapy water

  Wash with warm water, dish soap and a soft cloth after each batch.

• Skip abrasive scrubbers

  Harsh pads scratch the matte surface and dull the wing relief.

• Dry completely

  Air dry fully before you store the mold so no moisture sits in the cavities.
