Step 3: Bake

Step 3: Bake

Once my letters were all filled, I placed the alphabet baking mold on top of a regular baking tray with some baking parchment on it. I baked them at 135° C for 15 minutes.

Step 4: Remove the letters from your mold

Step 4: Remove the letters from your mold

The last step is to remove the letters from the alphabet baking mold once they have completely cooled.
