Leaf Pressing Kit

A high-quality silicone mold and a stencil made of acrylic.

The silicone pressure mold is made in leaf shape and is 100% food grade. The mold consists of two parts that fit exactly together and each mold has a length of 7.5 cm, a width of 5.3 cm and a height of 3.0 cm. The mold can withstand a temperature between -40 °C and +200 °C. The mold is therefore suitable for both the (shock) freezer and the oven.

The stencil has a cutout of 42 cm in length and 29.7 cm in width. The stencil contains 14 shapes measuring 6.5 cm in length and 5.6 cm in width. The stencil is not dishwasher safe. We recommend rinsing the stencil with lukewarm water (40°C) without using any cleaning agents.

By combining the two parts of the mold and stencil you can make isomalt confectionery and tuiles look like real autumn leaves. For the recipe video click here: How To? MoldBrothers Leaf Pressing Kit.
