Description: This is a reproduction of an antique mold, probably originally used for marzipan. Available exclusively from Springerle Emporium, the cradle has different designs on the head, foot, and sides. The foot of the cradle features an angel's face and wings. The sides each have a tulip and scrollwork. The bottom of the cradle (visible when the baby is removed) has a large sunflower. The baby is happily swaddled in a patterned blanket. There are so many options for this mold:
-
Edible cake topper sculpture from modeling chocolate/chocolate clay (shown here assembled with melted white chocolate)
- Fondant sculpture (we allowed the fondant to dry for stability before assembling with royal icing)
- Paper casting (shown here assembled with a hot glue gun)
- Paintable air dried clay (assembled with e6000 glue)
- Marzipan
- Tragacanth
With the paper casts, we used scissors to trim the edges once the casts were dry. For the modeling chocolate, fondant, clay, etc., we cut out the pieces with a small paring knife.
Size: 8.75" x 3.125"
