Using this silicone mold is super easy. First, preheat your oven to the appropriate temperature according to your recipe. Grease the mold lightly with cooking oil or butter to make it easier to remove the cake later. Pour your cake batter, chocolate, or fondant into the mold. Make sure to fill it evenly. Then, place it in the oven and bake until it's cooked through. After baking, let it cool down for a while before gently taking out your delicious fish, seaweed, or sea - coral - shaped creation. When it comes to cleaning, you can simply wash it with warm soapy water. Rinse it thoroughly and let it dry. Store it in a dry place to keep it in good condition. Just a reminder, don't use sharp objects to scrape the mold as it might damage the smooth surface and clear pattern. With proper use and care, this mold will serve you well for many cake - making adventures.
