Rhu Strand is an award winning cake artist and has created her Face Base Mould from an original cast of faces she hand modelled.
There is a video tutorial to the left where Rhu herself shows you how to use and decorate her face mould.
Use your favourite modelling paste, sugarpaste or Rhu's favourite 'modelling mud' as a base to start your faces from. The eye sockets, nose, mouth and cheeks are created by the mould and then the rest is up to you to get creative!
Leave the face as it is or shape the chin, cheeks, mouth and more to look specifically as you want it to. Go further by changing the eye and lip colour, paint on makeup and give the face different hairstyles to make it look like the cake's recipient, a celebrity or anyone you want. Even try using different colours of paste to depict different ethnicities. The face mould it so versatile, it will be your go to for all your models.
The mould creates heads ideal for figures 6" to 8" high.
The face of a figure can often be one of the most difficult parts to master however, with the Face Base Mould by Rhu Strand, this particular task just became easy! With full instructions provided on the packet as well as an extremely useful online tutorial and video tutorial, you'll be creating professional looking models in no time.
The mould contains 2 face designs and is made from flexible yet durable, food safe silicone so you can reuse it over and over again.
This mould is sure to be popular for those making both wedding figures as well as novelty figures and with so many ideas and designs to try out. Not only that, but the mould will also save you so much more time than modelling the face by hand, that it will give you more time to add your own decorative finishing touches.
Rhu Strand is best known for making some of the most intricate and imaginative figures in the cake world. From elegant bridal figures to novelty mermaid figures, Rhu Strand is always crafting something new and exciting, and now you can emulate her style with your own beautiful models.

You may have seen some of Rhu’s amazing models in her regular features in cake decorating magazines but found the task of creating your own a little daunting. Well now things just got a whole lot easier with Rhu Strand’s Male Face Base Mould.
Similar to the original Female Face Base Mould, the male version allows you to create 2 different style male faces in no time at all.
The eye sockets, nose, mouth and cheeks are all created by the mould which then gives you the chance to customise the rest of your face however you like.
The mould will help you recreate some of Rhu’s award winning models and has been specifically designed so that you can save time when replicating their faces. No faffing for hours on end with modelling tools, just push in your modelling paste and gently turn it out.
Once the face has been turned out, the possibilities are endless. Paint the lips and eyes, add different hairstyles, shape the chin or cheeks however you like, or simply leave the face as is, it’s up to you.
The mould itself is made from the highest quality silicone which, whilst it is durable, is also flexible, allowing you to easily remove your modelling paste once moulded. To make it even easier to remove your paste, dust the mould with a little cornflour before adding your paste to stop it sticking.
The mould is extremely versatile and can be used with almost any decorating medium including sugarpaste/fondant, modelling paste, gumpaste, flower paste, marzipan modelling chocolate or even Rhu’s favourite ‘Modelling Mud’
The mould is particularly good if you are creating wedding figures, novelty toppers or just simply have a love for crafting the most amazing models.
The mould creates heads ideal for figures 6" to 8" high.
The Face Base Mould designs measure approximately: 3.75cm x 3cm.
