Help With Gumpaste Bell Molds Please!
Decorating By taytay056 Updated 3 Aug 2016 , 2:52am by taytay056
I'm working on a replica wedding cake for a 50th anniversary, and I finally received my plastic PME bell molds in the mail...now I've been messing with them for over an hour and cannot for the life of me figure out how to use them effectively! I'm getting a very thick top, this spots, just overall crap.
Anyone have experience with these and advice??

It says it's a nine-piece set, so I'm not sure how that works. I'll say, though, that when they made those bells back in the day they were usually made with a sugar mold, not fondant or gumpaste, so you might have more luck packing it with sugar. Here's a video on how to cast the sugar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_2791095735&feature=iv&list=PLE8_nG5Lq4LXACIsfdgMDTa48XNxALhg3&src_vid=4zqvf4j1PsU&v=oZasLw05KpA
i mean if it's buttercream just push them in to stick them on but if it's on fondant -- and they didn't use that hardly at all in the us 50 years ago just glue them on with a little dab of buttercream
a toothpick will crack them -- they have to set up before you can scrape out the excess and it's too hard to put an intelligent hole in there -- you'd still have to adhere it to the toothpick
