Foam mats for modeling, 2 pieces
You can use the foam mat to give flowers and leaves a real look by thinning out the ends of the leaves using a ball modeling tool. Place the cut-out sugar mass on a foam mat and briefly press the ball modeling tool into baker's clay. Run the ball modeling tool along the edge of the cut-out sugar mass. If possible, only work on the outermost part with the modeling tool so that the rose petals are beautifully filigree. The set contains two foam mats with two different foams (soft & firm).

Foam mats for modeling, 2 pieces
A foam mat provides the perfect base for shaping and modeling various materials. The foam yields so much that even thin rolled-out masses do not tear when you work on them.
The foam modeling boards are perfect for working with fondant, flower paste, marzipan, modeling chocolate and Massa Ticino, but can also be used as a base for working with salt dough, modelling clay, wax, ceramics or clay.
Flower modeling plate - Application
Take the dough of your choice and knead the dough on the packaging a little. Now roll out the dough on a little baking starch. Loosen the rolled-out mixture from time to time so that it does not stick. Once you have reached the desired thickness, you can cut out the shape of your choice.
Now place this shape on the modeling plate. For a fine, gently curved petal, use a modeling tool with a round head. Using light pressure and circular movements, thin out the edge and slightly curve the petal in the middle. The modeling plate prevents the mass from tearing.
You can create a goblet-shaped flower by forming a small ball and placing a drop-shaped leaf, also thinned out at the edge, around it. You can place the long flower in one of the holes, for example to add some details with colors.
Powder colors can be brushed into the center around the pistil. This creates the typical look of pollen dust. The edges can also be painted for a darker edge.
With a modeling board, you have an ideal base for all your creations made from sugar masses. The foam is just flexible enough to create gentle curves but no cracks. The holes in one plate make it easier to create 3D flowers and can also be used as a holder for flower nails. Create delicate flowers and cute figures on the modeling plates!
