Using these cake molds is a breeze. First, grease the mold lightly to prevent the sugar or batter from sticking. Pour your melted sugar or cake batter carefully into the mold, filling it to the desired level. Then, let it set according to your recipe instructions. Once set, gently remove the decoration or cake from the mold. When it comes to maintenance, wash the molds with warm, soapy water after each use and dry them thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can damage the mold's surface. Store the molds in a dry place to keep them in good condition for future baking projects.
