Silicone Moulds for Baking & Cake Decorating

Silicone Moulds for Every Baking Project

Silicone moulds are one of the most versatile tools in cake decorating and confectionery. Made from food-grade, flexible silicone, they allow you to create detailed fondant decorations, shaped chocolates, candy pieces, and cakesicles with consistent, professional results — and release cleanly every time without greasing or sticking. At Baking Pleasures, we stock an extensive range of silicone baking moulds across fondant and gum paste decoration moulds, chocolate and candy moulds, cakesicle moulds, and themed seasonal designs.

Types of Silicone Moulds

Fondant & Gum Paste Moulds

Fondant moulds are small, detailed silicone moulds used to press and release fondant or gum paste into precise shapes — flowers, letters, numbers, gems, buttons, hearts, animals, and more. They're the fastest way to create consistent, professional-looking decorations without hand-sculpting. Simply press your fondant into the mould, allow it to firm slightly, then flex the silicone to release a perfectly formed piece. Popular options in our range include the Alphabet & Numbers Set, Assorted Hearts, Assorted Gems, Butterfly, and Rose Flower moulds.

Chocolate Moulds & Candy Moulds

Chocolate moulds are designed to create shaped chocolate pieces, candy melts, and confectionery decorations. Pour melted chocolate or candy melts into the mould, allow to set, then flex to release. Our chocolate mould range includes themed designs — dinosaurs, Halloween skulls, Batman, butterflies, coral ocean, and seasonal Christmas designs — as well as classic shapes like buttons, hearts, and chocolate bars. For the full chocolate and candy mould range, browse our dedicated chocolate moulds collection.

Cakesicle & Popsicle Moulds

Cakesicle moulds are designed specifically for making chocolate-shell cakesicles — a popular cake pop alternative where a chocolate coating is moulded into a paddle-pop shape and filled with cake and ganache. Our Choc Bar Popsicle Cakesicle Silicone Mould creates a clean bar shape perfect for decorating and gifting. Cakesicle moulds are also suitable for ice lollies, chocolate bark bars, and moulded chocolate blocks.

Character & Themed Moulds

Our character and themed silicone moulds make it easy to create on-trend cake decorations for kids' birthday cakes and themed celebrations. Available designs include Batman, dinosaur (Brontosaurus), child face, balloon numbers, Halloween skulls, and more. Pair with fondant or chocolate to create matching sets of themed toppers and decorations for your cake design.

Floral & Decorative Moulds

For elegant cake designs, our floral silicone moulds produce detailed petal and bloom shapes in fondant, gum paste, or chocolate. Designs include Rose Flower, Chrysanthemum, Buttercups, and Crochet Weave — ideal for wedding cakes, celebration cakes, and any design requiring a refined, handcrafted finish. Combine with our edible flowers range for a full decorative toolkit.

Seasonal & Occasion Moulds

Our seasonal mould range covers the most popular baking occasions throughout the year. Christmas designs include gingerbread men, Santa, snowmen, candy canes, Christmas trees, and Santa hats — all available as both silicone fondant moulds and chocolate moulds. For Easter baking, browse our dedicated Easter moulds collection, which includes a full range of Easter egg, bunny, and chick designs. Halloween designs include the 3D skull silicone mould and Batman/bat lollipop chocolate mould.

What Can You Make With Silicone Moulds?

The same silicone mould can be used across multiple materials and applications:

• Fondant decorations — press and release detailed shapes for cake and cupcake toppers
• Gum paste decorations — firmer than fondant, ideal for decorations that need to hold their shape over time
• Chocolate shapes — pour melted chocolate or candy melts and allow to set for clean, detailed chocolate pieces
• Isomalt decorations — pour melted isomalt for transparent, jewel-like decorations
• Cakesicles and ice lollies — use the cakesicle and bar moulds for chocolate-shell treats
• Jelly and gelatine shapes — most silicone moulds are suitable for set jelly, panna cotta, and similar desserts
• Soap and candles — silicone moulds can also be used for non-food crafting

How to Use Silicone Moulds

Using silicone moulds for fondant and chocolate is straightforward:

1. For fondant — dust the mould lightly with cornflour to prevent sticking. Press a small amount of fondant firmly into each cavity, ensuring the design is fully filled. Scrape excess flat with a palette knife, then flex the mould gently to release the pieces.
2. For chocolate — pour tempered chocolate or melted candy melts into the cavities. Tap the mould gently on the bench to remove air bubbles, then refrigerate until fully set. Flex the mould to release cleanly.
3. For cakesicles — coat the inside of the mould cavity with chocolate, allow to set, fill with cake mixture and ganache, seal with more chocolate, then refrigerate until firm before releasing.

Silicone Moulds Australia — Care & Safety

All silicone moulds in our range are made from food-grade silicone — safe for use with food, free from BPA and harmful chemicals, and approved for direct food contact. Our moulds are oven-safe, microwave-safe, freezer-safe, and dishwasher-safe, making them easy to clean and long-lasting. Store flat or rolled in a cool, dry place to maintain their shape between uses.

FAQs About Silicone Moulds

What is the difference between silicone moulds and plastic moulds?

Silicone moulds are flexible, which means decorations and chocolates release cleanly without cracking or breaking — even from intricate, detailed cavities. Rigid plastic moulds require more care when releasing and can crack over time. For fondant and chocolate work, silicone is the preferred material for most cake decorators due to its flexibility, longevity, and non-stick properties.

Do I need to grease silicone moulds?

For chocolate and candy melts, no greasing is needed — the silicone releases cleanly. For fondant and gum paste, a light dusting of cornflour helps prevent sticking, particularly with intricate designs. Avoid using oil or butter in fondant moulds as this can affect the texture and finish of the decoration.

Are silicone moulds oven safe?

Yes — our food-grade silicone baking moulds are oven-safe up to 220°C (428°F). They are also microwave-safe and freezer-safe. Always place silicone moulds on a solid baking tray when using in the oven, as their flexibility can make them difficult to handle when full of batter or liquid.

Can I use silicone moulds for chocolate?

Yes — silicone is one of the best materials for chocolate moulding. The flexibility allows you to pop chocolates out cleanly without breaking, even from detailed cavity shapes. For best results, use tempered chocolate or candy melts and refrigerate until fully set before releasing. Browse our dedicated chocolate moulds collection for designs specifically suited to chocolate and candy work.

How do I clean silicone moulds?

Silicone moulds are dishwasher-safe or can be hand washed in warm soapy water. For chocolate residue, allow the mould to come to room temperature before washing — avoid washing warm chocolate residue as it can smear. For stubborn colour staining (from food colouring used in fondant), soak in warm water with a small amount of white vinegar before washing.

What silicone moulds are best for beginners?

For beginners, simple flat cavity moulds — such as our Assorted Hearts, Assorted Gems, or Alphabet & Numbers Set — are the easiest to start with. These moulds have shallow, straightforward shapes that are easy to fill and release. As you become more comfortable, progress to deeper or more detailed moulds like the 3D Skull or Butterfly for more intricate decoration work.
