Frequently asked questions
How can I create a three-dimensional mermaid tail instead of a flat one?
Unmold two tails and glue them back to back with a little water for fondant, or edible glue for gum paste: the assembly creates a much more realistic 3D effect than a single flat piece.
Can this mold be combined with the Mermaid mold from the same range?
Yes, the tail attaches to the torso made with the Mermaid mold to create a complete mermaid standing on the cake.
Which paste holds the tail's curved shape best?
Flower paste (gum paste), which is firmer than fondant, holds the curve of the tail better as it dries, especially for a three-dimensional assembly.
