How to use Cupcake Moulds - by Karen Davies

1. Spread a little apricot jam or buttercream on top of cake.
2. Dust mould with cornflour, turn over and tap out excess.
3. Knead approximately 30g of modelling paste into a smooth ball.
4. Press into mould firmly in the centre to get the fine detail and then press out to edges of mould.
5. Turn over and flex slightly to remove.
Place icing on top of cup cake.
Rub dust colours into brushes on kitchen paper so there is no loose powder.
Colour as required.

If a sparkle effect is required ONLY USE EDIBLE GLITTER SUCH AS MAGIC SPARKLES.
To test if a glitter is made from edible products, try dissolving in warm water.
If it doesn’t dissolve it is non-toxic so should be removed before eating – therefore not suitable for cup cake decorating.
