The Pozitif “Braided Borders” Silicone Mould is designed for creating three long embossed decorative strips in different widths, each featuring a braided texture. The motifs resemble twisted cord or textile braiding and may be used for borders, frames, edging and decorative dividers on cakes and confectionery arrangements.
The three separate shapes offer different widths and levels of relief, making them easy to adapt to the size and style of the decoration. The narrow strip is suitable for fine outlines and small details, the medium strip for versatile borders, and the widest strip for more prominent decorative accents.
The entire mould measures approximately 5.5 × 13 cm. The elongated motifs make it suitable for wrapping around cakes, creating frames, decorating plaques and building symmetrical ornamental arrangements.

Directions for use
Before use, make sure the mould is clean and completely dry. Prepare the selected material and knead it thoroughly until smooth, elastic and easy to model.
Select the desired border width and place the material along the full length of the corresponding shape. Press carefully to fill all twisted and embossed sections.
Remove the excess material from the back with a suitable tool to create a clean and flat base. When necessary, allow the material to firm slightly or chill the mould briefly.
Carefully flex the silicone and release the finished strip gradually along its full length. Do not pull the border from only one end, as this may stretch or distort it.
Allow the decorative strip to dry on a flat surface, or place it on the cake while it is still slightly flexible when it needs to follow a curved shape.
Practical tips
- Use well-kneaded and elastic modelling material.
- Fill one shape at a time for a more precise result.
- Press evenly along the full length of the border.
- Carefully remove excess material to create a clean and flat back.
- When using very soft paste, chill the mould briefly before release.
- Release the strip gradually from one end to the other.
- Do not pull strongly or stretch the finished border.
- For a round cake, apply the strip while it is still slightly flexible.
- When necessary, join several strips with a minimally visible seam.
- Use only a minimal amount of a suitable release agent when necessary.
- Colour after complete drying for a cleaner and more even result.
Colouring ideas
- Gold for luxurious, royal and formal arrangements.
- Silver for modern and elegant cakes.
- White and pearl for wedding and delicate designs.
- Bronze and antique gold for a vintage Baroque effect.
- Navy blue and gold for marine, ceremonial and classical arrangements.
- Beige and brown for a realistic rope or natural cord effect.
- Black and silver for a contrasting and modern appearance.
- Pastel colours for delicate children’s and romantic cakes.
Product benefits
The mould makes it possible to quickly create three different long borders without twisting and shaping each braid by hand. This saves time and supports an even, symmetrical and professional-looking result.
The different motif widths provide greater freedom when decorating. The narrow strip may be used for fine edging, the medium strip for versatile frames, and the wide strip for strongly defined side ornaments.
The embossed structure may be highlighted with powder, pearl or metallic colours, adding depth and a more realistic braided-rope effect.
The flexibility of the silicone supports careful release while preserving the even braided texture of the long decorative strips.
Cleaning and storage
- Wash carefully with lukewarm water and a mild detergent.
- Do not use abrasive sponges, sharp objects or aggressive cleaning products.
- Clean all narrow, recessed and embossed areas thoroughly.

- Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Do not place heavy objects on top of the mould.
- Do not store it folded or rolled for extended periods.
