About The Molds We
Carry
We carry
three basic types of molds.
The first
type of mold, and the most popular, is a chocolate candy
mold. These molds are for molding chocolate and low
temperature molding mediums such as soap or soy wax. Most of these
candy molds have a maximum temperature range of 110 to 140
degrees Fahrenheit. These molds can also be used to make ice
cubes or mold gelatin. Each of this type of mold is made of a
clear or semi-clear plastic. All of our chocolate
candy mold sku's are prefixed with "MLD" or can be found in
the Molds - Chocolate Only category.
Another type of candy mold we
carry is for making hard candy or what is also known as hard "tack"
candy. The hard candy molds are made of a white tempered plastic
that will withstand temperatures of up to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
This type of mold can be used for molding chocolate also but will
not give as glossy a finished piece as the chocolate candy mold.
The hard candy molds sku's are prefixed with "HMLD" or can be found
in the Molds - Hard Tack Candy department.
The third mold type we
carry is a flexible silicone rubber mold. These rubber molds
are made by three different manufacturers. Please note
that all of the silicone molds are not necessarily high
temperature. Please check the details for the maximum
temperature suggested by the manufacturer.
The yellow silicone rubber candy
molds are the most popular of the silicone molds for molding cream
cheese, fondant, butter or other soft mediums which require a much
softer release method than the chocolate or hard candy mold. |
The
manufacturer of the yellow silicone rubber molds has been around for
years and produces some of the most popular designs but are
available only in limited themes. Yellow silicone rubber molds have
sku's that are prefix with "RMLD". or can be found in the Molds -
Flexible Silicone category.
There are currently no companies
in the U.S., to our knowledge, that manufactures metal candy molds.
Soap
Molds and Supplies
Most of our
candy molds can also be used for Melt and Pour soaps. We do have
some that work best for soap making only so we have put them
in a soap
molds category. Most of the clear plastic mold will
withstand temperatures of up to 140 degrees and are
great for Melt and Pour soap making.
The candy molds with instructions manufactured by
Wilton and Make N Mold are not suitable for soap making since the
maximum suggested temperature is 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Candy
molds manufactured by Concepts In Candy also have a suggested
maximum temperature of 110 and are not appropriate for soap making.
Concepts In Candy candy molds have colored pictures.
Soaps make
great holiday gifts and we all know it's never too late to
start shopping for the upcoming holiday season. We also carry a
large variety of soap
fragrances, soap additives and
varieties of melt and pour
soap. Our candy molds with smaller cavities are great
for making soap embeds for your soap making or great soy wax
tarts. |
