Silicon flower molds are sold by many vendors. These were purchased from Esty vendors.
They are easy to use and make a great, quick flower for your cakes. You simple work a ball of fondant or gumpaste between your fingers until it is nicely pliable and press it into the mold, making sure all corners are filled with the medium.
Use a plate knife gently pressed against the mold to clean off any additional medium. You will now need to place the filled mold into the refrigerator for approximately five minutes. Remove the mold from the refrigerator and gently pull the medium while bending the edge of the mold. At this point I leave them to dry.

I general mold in white or off white so that I can then color the shade I need for the cake I need to complete. Coloring can be accomplished with petal or luster dust. You can paint with gel color and lemon extract (these are painted with a non-toxic dust as they will be used on a display cookies.)
