Turn Your Logo into a Chocolate Cake Topper

We turned the Startup and Create logo into a white chocolate cupcake topper! You can do this too by printing out a logo as line art, placing the paper over a piece of polymer clay, and tracing and cutting the logo out of the clay.

We then put the clay logo shape into a heat safe mold box and poured ComposiMold-FC over  the top.

Once the ComposiMold-FC cools, you can remove the clay and pour melted chocolate into it. The chocolate hardens fairly quickly and even quicker in the freezer. Simply bend the mold away from the chocolate logo, once the chocolate has hardened, and use the chocolate casting to decorate cakes or cupcakes.

Don't forget, once you are done making your cake toppers in this mold, re-melt the mold to make over 35 different logos with one container of ComposiMold-FC.

How to Use a Wallpaper Scrap to Make a Fondant Cake Wrap Texture

Easily transfer interesting textures onto the side of your cake with a ComposiMold mold. In this example, we used a scrap piece of textured wall paper to make our mold. 

 
1. Glue the entire back side of the paper to a perfectly flat heat safe mold box. (You can make any shape and depth mold box with tin foil.) Be sure the surface you are resting the mold on is level and perfectly flat.

2. Coat the textured paper and inside of the mold box with Food Contact Safe Mold Release. Wipe away any excess. 

3. Melt ComposiMold-FC (food contact) per instructions on the lid. Do not let it boil, as this will introduce too many bubbles.

4. Pour the ComposiMold-FC into your mold box to cover the paper by at least 1/2".


5. Let the mold cool and solidify on the flat surface.

6. Pull the mold away from the tin foil and then remove the wallpaper from the mold. 


 
7. Trim any rough edges of the mold with a clean knife or kitchen scissors. 

8. Soften your fondant and press it into the mold. Using a rolling pin eliminates the added heat of your fingers which may warp your fondant casting. 

 
9. Trim the edges of your fondant cake wrap and apply to the cake. 

10. You can also pick up details in the mold to decorate the top and sides of the cake.

 The possibilities are endless. You can find textures to mold everywhere you look. If you are not able to put the texture you want to duplicate into a mold box due to it's location, you can use a different method called: the Brush On Method. This allows you to brush melted ComposiMold onto a texture in place. One example is an instance where we wanted to duplicate a flower detail on the back of a lawn chair. After washing the plastic chair with soap and hot water we followed the steps to create a mold with this technique. Then we were able to make white chocolate castings in this mold. See how the possibilities are endless?!

ComposiMold-Food Contact, Perfect for Unique Chocolate and Fondant Shapes

ComposiMold-FC is a 100% reusable mold making material for chocolate, fondants, gum paste castings, and more. It's a flexible, rubbery, mold making material that works by melting and pouring. Many casts can be made using the same mold. ComposiMold-FC is good for the mold maker and confectionery artist because it can be reused to make different molds without worrying about wasting mold making material.

ComposiMold-Food Contact Video!

ComposiMold-FC is what we are demonstrating in today's video. We've placed a big stamp that you can buy in a craft store into a tin foil "mold box", coated it with Food Contact Safe Mold Release, and poured our melted ComposiMold-FC to cover the stamp. After the mold making material cooled and solidified, we removed the stamp, and looked at the awesome detail we picked up!

You can see we used milk chocolate as our casting material first and then we pressed purple fondant into it next. You can keep making castings until you have as many as you need.

Once you are finished with this mold, simply remelt the material and pour it over your next object. The possibilities are endless when it comes to custom cake decorating, sweet party favors, and one-of-a-kind edible gifts!

1970's Triple Crown Winner knows about ComposiMold


We, in ComposiMold Land, are constantly surprised to hear how ComposiMold is being used in the "real world". Lisa Menz never fails to impress us with her cake decorating skills and her ambitious ComposiMold projects too!

This time she had the honor of creating Jean Cruguet's 70th birthday cake. Mr. Cruguet was the jockey who in the 1970's rode Seattle Slew to the top, winning the Triple Crown Races!


Lisa writes about her process, "I made a huge mold of a horse head with ComposiMold and then I used black fondant for the horse head." She also mentioned, "You could use chocolate also, of course."

Lisa demonstrates ComposiMold's reusability and cost effectiveness perfectly here. She only needed one horse head for this special cake...and it needed to be big! She can make this large mold with the ComposiMold she has been using for her custom cake decorating business and then simply remelt it for her next project! 

Thank you Lisa, for sharing this cake with us and Mr. Cruguet too!

Fondant Cake Wrap with ComposiMold-FC

We have had so many cake decorators ask us about cake wraps and creating lacey textures in a ComposiMold mold. In response we've made multiple molds of many different kinds of lace and have had some good results. Lace can be a little tricky sometimes due to it's delicate nature and you will certainly have to experiment with this medium. Below are some photos of some of the edible laces we've created.





The following video demonstrates how to use a gorgeous piece of embossed paper to make a fondant push mold. The details we picked up in the ComposiMold are incredible and the texture we created for this cake wrap came out beautifully. 



Thank you again for your questions and inspiring these projects! The ComposiMold Team

Lisa Menz of Cakes By Lisa Uses ComposiMold-FC for Wedding Cake Decorating

We have made so many great connections through the International Cake Exploration Societe (ICES). One of ComposiMold's new friends through this awesome organization is Lisa Menz of Cakes By Lisa in Ocala, Florida. She is a super talented cake decorator as well as fund raiser and promoter of all things wedding cake. She sent us this photo of a beautiful wedding cake that she used ComposiMold to create. 


 Lisa wrote this description along with the photo she sent: 

"I made the pearl border on the middle tier, from layers of pearls stacked and then molded them with ComposiMold.  De-molded, then put fondant in the mold and applied to cake and painted with edible gold. This made it easier to do than, using the one string at a time mold method , like others do. Thanks for a great product." 


and then:

"(I sent this photo)  because you like to use your product to show possibilities of how creative you can be with ComposiMold:)"  Lisa Menz
  
Thank you Lisa for sharing this creation with us. You absolutely show how you can be creative and make your work life a lot easier with ComposiMold. Send more shots! Michelle

Cake Kakoots in Port Barre, Louisiana Uses ComposiMold

We love sharing our customers' unique creations with you. In the photographs below you'll see how a nurse-gone-cake-maker uses ComposiMold-FC (food contact) to create molds of a variety of objects to decorate her realistic cakes. We were quite impressed with her work and happy to hear that ComposiMold saves her money and kitchen space!

Here's what Cake Kakoots had to say about her new business and how ComposiMold works for her:

"I'm Cake Kakoots from Port Barre, Louisiana. I started doing cakes one year ago. I have become pretty busy. I quit my nursing job to start this lil' business. I hope it takes off soon! Thanks to y'alls reusable mold material I save a ton of money. I wouldn't be able to make all the different molds out of silicone; it would be too expensive and take up too much space when not in use." ~ CK

Thanks Cake Kakoots! Best of luck to you and your new business! ~Michelle
