Ingredients for Snowflake Decorations
Instructions
Step 1
Start by rolling out the fondant until it's about **3-5 millimeters** thick. If the fondant is too sticky, use a light dusting of **cornstarch** to help with rolling. Make sure to keep working on a clean surface to maintain the texture.
Step 2
Using plungers or cookie cutters, carefully cut out snowflake shapes from the rolled fondant. The plungers can make this task much easier and provide a nice finish. Make sure to use the right size for your needs; I recommend checking out plungers with article number **1315766496** for best results.
Step 3
Allow the cut snowflakes to dry at **room temperature**. The drying time will depend on the thickness of the shapes and the humidity in your kitchen, but generally, they should be ready within **1 hour**. Ensure they are placed on a non-stick surface to avoid sticking.
Step 4
To attach the snowflakes to mochi, melt some chocolate until smooth. Before applying, check if the mochi has any condensation; if so, gently wipe it off to ensure a strong bond. Use a brush to coat the back of each snowflake with melted chocolate, then carefully place it on the mochi.
Step 5
Store the decorated snowflakes in an **airtight container** kept in a dark place at **room temperature**. They can last for up to **2 months** without losing their charm. Make sure to keep them away from direct sunlight and moisture for optimal preservation.
