CK Products Mini Flower Assortment Chocolate Mold

I think if people would understand what Mini is and gingerly fill up each tiny flower, then there would be no problem. I am using this and filling with poly clay to make tiny flowers for my projects. Now I see that they are not pushing out for me so I can bake them, but this is not the suppliers fault as this is not a silicone mold which allows for that. So I will try to pluck them out. ANYWAY, this is a nice product so I would have to defend it for the uses it is intended for on a MINI basis!

This is nice for chocolate and pressed sugar though I like the results from chocolate better. Each mold cavity holds about 1/8 of a teaspoon of product except the tulips which only hold about 1/16 of a teaspoon. I use a pastry bag fitted with a number 2 tip to make filling them easier. The candies release easily. Perfect for small decorations.

These little flower molds were much smaller than expected but seem to be good quality. They are very tiny, like the size of a nickle.

These are cute little molds. However, they are too thin for making sugar cubes (my original intention). The width would be perfect for sugar cubes but the depth is too thin and they don't look good and break easily.

These designs are quite small, which is exactly what I needed. I am a Scentsy consultant and this mold is perfect for making samples. I also enjoy baking, so I plan on making little chocolate flowers to make a border on cakes and cupcakes.

This mold isn't easy to fill - because the flowers are so small it is too easy to overfill - and almost impossible to unmold. I very carefully filled with chocolate, refrigerated for two hours, then let the mold sit on my counter for a few minutes before I tried to unmold the tiny chocolates. I couldn't get them out, and ended up throwing the entire thing away, chocolate and all. Not a good buy, although I have another (larger) mold made by this company that worked perfectly.

I forgot to use mold release with this, when I poured acrylic resin into it, and the resin still will not pull away from the mold, even after 10 days. I managed to get 3 pieces out, from different spots on the mold, so it wasn't the mixing. It was definitely the mold release.

These molds are really shallow and must be only good for tiny chocolate decorations for cake tops or something like that. I was trying to use them to make sugar cubes so I was hoping they would have more depth or be a bit bigger. These DO NOT work to make sugar cubes. I was a bit disappointed. They're also made out of seemingly one-time use clear plastic- lots of this in the cake decorating aisle in Michael's. Maybe this is perfect for cake decorations, but for my purposes definitely wasn't what I wanted. Will be returning.
