Candy molds come in various shapes and sizes, including soft sheet molds, hard candy molds, and toffee molds. They can also be custom-made for specific shapes and sizes. Candy molds can also be used to make soaps, jelly-based shapes, candles, and decorative items. They are widely available in kitchen stores and retailers that sell candy-making supplies.
Candy molds are devices that are used to create candies in a variety of shapes and types. One of the more popular examples of the candy mold is the soft sheet mold which houses a series of cavities used to create multiple pieces of candy. Commercial candy molds are also sometimes made of metal, often stainless steel.
The sheet candy mold can be used to make various types of homemade candy. The hard candy molds allow you to create fruit-flavored hard candies in basic shapes such as round, square and rectangular candies. There are also hard candy molds that come in shapes ranging from cartoon characters to many other types of novelty items. These molds can also be configured to allow hard candy to be inserted by embedding a stick into the candy, effectively creating hard candy suckers.
Similarly, the toffee mold is ideal for making candies using chocolate and similar ingredients. The candy shape for these softer candies is the same as for the hard candies. This allows you to use candy molds to create unique candies for holidays, weddings and other special occasions.
Along with commercially produced candy molds, it is also possible to have molds custom made in a variety of shapes and sizes. This is not uncommon for restaurants and caterers who prefer to have candy molds in specific shapes and sizes. While more expensive, these custom candy molds require very little in the way of maintenance and will last for a number of years.
Candy molds aren’t just used for creating visually appealing candy. It’s not unusual for the molds to be used to make one-of-a-kind soaps as well. As with candy recipes, soap recipes often call for the ingredients to be in a semi-liquid form when poured into the mold cavity. Plastic candy molds are particularly suitable for this type of business, as the sheet molds are easy to bend slightly and release the dried candy or soap from the mold without any damage to the product.
Along with soaps, candy molds can also be used to create unique jelly-based shapes, candles, and decorative gems of butter or cream cheese for use at a formal table. The soft molds can also be used to create plaster and concrete items that can be used as decorative accents in the home.
Buying candy molds is a relatively simple process. Kitchen stores, restaurant supply stores, and many retailers that sell candy-making supplies will offer at least a few basic molds. Mass-produced molds are relatively inexpensive and normally require nothing more than periodic cleaning with warm water.
