I was contacted by a business that is hosting a retreat who's looking for 60 small soy pillers customized with her business logo. As much as I would love to do it, she has a turn-around time of July 16. I'm just not equipped to do that kind of volume by then. Before I just flat say I can't help her, anyone know of someone who could?
I'll be happy to help any way I can but it's really not difficult. I'm not aware of any written instructions although there may be some. I just thought of it as a additional partial "mold liner." Let's say you have a mold like mine that has interior dimensions of: 11.25(L) X 3.25(W) X 3.70(H). My mold already has a silicone liner, so I don't need to worry about the end pieces. I cut my fondant mat in a square 11.20 (L) X 10.5 (W) It's important to cut the edges straight, so I used a ruler and a straight edge and marked it with pen to cut. Then I just placed it inside the mold and pushed it down into the bottom edges. Because my mold already has a silicone liner and wasn't slippery, it stayed put. Then I just soaped as usual. HTH! Let me know if you have any questions once you get your mat.
The key to my photography is a Canon and daylight. The amazon links you posted; the first one is the fondant mat I used. I also have the the 3rd one but I haven't used it yet.
Thanks everyone! I even braved the 37 degrees in FL this morning to shoot that pic outside. (Now ducking from the snowballs being thrown at me from the people in the subzero Midwest and Northeast)
"Dear Santa, All I want for Christmas is (...a true straight coconut that doesn't fade or discolor so I don't have to use either of VS or TD in my coconut soap.... )" :tongue2 Is that asking too much??????
FINALLY got around to trying TallTayl's method... and yeah...it made a BIG difference! Houston, we have BIG FOAMY LATHER. This sat on the brush for 45 min without changing. Thanks sooooo much TallTayl!
