Tried searching the site before posting this. I know that mega-factories use cornstarch molds to pour syrup into for molding - has anyone tried/done this at home? I figure I can use a 1/2 sheet pan (3" deep) and press the design I want into it - just wanted to know before I waste some perfectly good sugar. TIA

Did this many years ago and if I remember correctly it worked just fine. I do remember having to pack the cornstarch by placing a smaller container on top and weighing it down. Let it set overnigh, if possible, and then remove weights and smaller container. Just be sure to make your imprint only once otherwise you will smear the original imprint. You might try molding only one so you don't waist the sugar. Good luck!
