Pretty! Those don't look like SugarVeil molds though. What brand are they? Did you work with the SugarVeil medium and use another company's molds?
Hi Julia...they are not SugarVeil molds. I searched the internet and purchased less expensive molds. I have found several Sugarveil molds that I would love to own and will purchase at least 1 soon. I'll have to check ... I order mostly from Amazon and Etsy.

OK, if you know the brand of mold, it would be great to post it. Just don't want people going to the SugarVeil site to find these molds, 'cause they won't!
Wonderful!!!! Nancy how hard was it to work with the sugar veil? Beautiful!
Thanks Smurphy! You mix it the day before you use it. Depending on your mold and the weather it can take 1 hour to 12 hours before you can remove your lace. I was able to remove mine after 2-3 hours. I'm in California and it was about 70 degrees outside and I had my ceiling fan above on medium. I only had trouble with 1 mold. I think it may have needed more time. I still have leftover SurgarVeil in my refrigerator and a little goes a long way. I will use up the rest and I can save them in an airtight container. In all it was a good experience! ��

I purchased this one especially for the round lace for my cookies and ended up cutting the the long cake strips into pieces for some of the cookies. There are many different brands on Amazon...I just searched for silicone lace cake mats.
Nancy, what gorgeous work!! I love the sugar veil medium and have been curious about how easy/hard it is to work with. Also I've wondered about the expense as to whether or not the shelf life makes it a good value when you have regular orders coming in but generally not huge amounts being ordered.

Just to clarify - not all edible lace mixes dry and hold the same way. SugarVeil was the original, but there are several knock-offs now. SugarVeil (the real thing) is best mixed right before you use it, but a little goes an extremely long way. It comes in powdered form, with a very long shelf life, so I usually mix it in small increments (no more than 2/3 cup at a time) as I need it. Once molded and set, the lace elements can be stored in sealed baggies for weeks to months to be used whenever you need them. If SugarVeil mix sits more than one hour (or turns from white to off-white while sitting), it should be re-beaten before trying to spread it in molds again. SugarVeil can also be quick-dried in a 185 to 200F oven; the time in the oven depends on the (depth of the) mat and oven temperature, but generally it is under 10 minutes. Quick-drying vastly speeds up the process.
(I've been working on a SugarVeil collaboration with some other YouTubers for then last couple of months, so I've been experimenting with it quite a lot. The collaboration will be published on May 31, and you'll see all sorts of ways to use these materials then - ranging from embossing dough with the mats to making two-tone lace to punching and shaping it into flowers and other elements. It's very versatile once you get used to setting up the lace - humidity plays a big factor in how the material sets and releases from the molds.)

Thanks Carol! I felt the same way. It's kind of expensive...I am going to use the left over SugarVeil I have in the refridgerator to make extra lace and save it in an air tight container. It's supposed to last for a log time. Not knowing what to expect from the product the first time was the hardest part. There are so many variables with the drying times because of weather, moisture in the air, dry air. I wasn't sure when the lace would be ready or if I would be able to get it off the mat. It all worked out....(I just got back from the Post Office, sending them to a friend for Mother's Day) Of course I should have tried it before but I am a procrastinator! I only make my cookies as a hobby and give them to family and friends. I am in awe of you and all the others who have their own cookie business!

Hi Julia,
I came across a Sugar Lace recipe on YouTube. Have you ever tried making your own from scratch?
No, I haven't tried making it from scratch. How did that recipe work?
No I didn't try it...just wondered if you had. It sounds pretty simple. It's on YouTube ... search for Sugar Lace Recipe. (By Sugar Cakerie) the only thing unusual in the recipe is Tylose powder and distilled water.
