Winter CHA 2013: Katy Sue Designs Cupcake Molds

Katy Sue Designs had some amazing molds on display at the show this year.  My favorite was their "Meadow Cupcake Molds".

These images on these molds are reminiscence of a cameo, depending on the colors you choose to make
them with.  The black and white ones are more dramatic than the pastel water colored ones from Victorian Garden cupcake mold collection.

These are so easy to use.  Once you choose which mold you are going to work with,

you dust the surface lightly with corn starch.

Then you place the sugar paste into the mold. Pressing it firmly into the mold.

Then just use the roller to flatten it.

Trim off any excess off the edges.

Then decorate the finished piece anyway you like.  Angie, the product demonstrator, hand painted the

the molded sugar paste piece below with special cake decorating paints.

The finished look on these is completely in the power of the person who is using it.  Here are some
