sculpey cupcake mold issues- SOLVED

Aug 31, 2010 20:32

i'm making deco cupcakes with a plastic mold from the fuwa fuwa paperclay set
but once i press the mold down it is impossible to get it out in tact
i can't get the clay out without destroying the cupcake shape i want .
i tried dusting the inside of the mold with flower and it doesn't work , it still gets stuck.
i have also tried using Pam ( non-stick baking spray) and it just makes the sculpey all soggy , again i can't get the shape of the mold. is there anything i can apply to the plastic mold to make it non-stick?

please and thank you.
if it's hard to understand my question please let me know and i will try my best to rephrase it C:

___________________________________________________________________________________________
SOLUTION : roll a ball of clay ( paper or polymer clay , i used both ) in flour and powder the mold as well.
this way the clay won't stick because it has a layer of flour and so does the mold C:

*for polymer clay ( sculpey) DO NOT USE OIL ( veggie oil, corn oil ) the clay will soak it up and will turn to mush
and it will soften clay and make it impossible to remove from the mold.

molds, questions
