I just found a website that has silicone plastique for making your own molds www.culinart.net .

Has anyone ever used this or made their own molds? I want to make a high heel shoe mold that can withstand temperatures for sugar. I really want to make Cinderella's glass slipper for all my princess cakes.

Have you looked for a premade mold? I would think that would be common. I've never made a mold - but I've seen it sone on TV for other things.

I have looked online, but the only mold I can find is a chocolate mold which would not hold up to the high temperature of sugar.

I wanted to make my own monogram mold for cream cheese mints for my daughter's wedding in July. I had seen a TV crafter make a candle mold using silicone calk from a home improvement type store, and decided to practice with that first, since it's cheap and readily available. I created my base shape using polymer clay and baked it, then added the letters and baked again. After it cooled, I coated it with a heavy coat of the silicone calking. It took much longer to dry than I expected. After it was completely dry, I still had trouble getting it to release the monogram letters. They were made with little snakes of the clay, and were not pressed flat to the base. I learned to press the clay ropes into flat strings before creating the letter shapes.

Silicone calking CANNOT be used for making a mold for food items, only a food grade silicone will do. But the calk does make a cheaper way to practice and find out what will work before you start working with the real thing. Hope this helps.

Cool site! Thank you!

you can get "CREATE A MOLD" from Beryls.com. it's an algae based reusable mold medium.

it melts in the microwave and you can make molds out of anything and when you're done, and it's clean you can remelt it and reuse it!

Great stuff!!
