Method for making candy in detailed designs

A method for molding confectionery material comprising the steps of:

• (a) providing a plate having an upper surface to form a design to be duplicated with confectionery material and having a generally flat lower surface;
• (b) providing a sheet to accomodate one or more of said plates;
• (c) connecting one or more of said plates to said sheet;
• (d) providing a frame to create a border for said plate on said sheet;
• (e) providing a room temperature vulcanizing silicone rubber material and curing agent;
• (f) mixing said silicone rubber material and said curing agent together to form a viscous mass;
• (g) brushing a thin coating of said viscous mass on said plate's upper surface;
• (h) pouring more of said viscous mass onto the plate and onto said sheet so as to cover the bordered areas to the top of said frame;
• (i) curing said viscous mass at room temperature to form a mold;
• (j) further curing said mold on said sheet at an elevated temperature;
• (k) cooling said mold sufficiently to allow normal handling without use of gloves;
• (l) separating said mold from said plate;
• (m) heating said confectionery material until it is liquid and pourable;
• (n) lightly brushing a thin coating of said confectionery material on the interior surface of said mold;
• (o) filling the mold cavity with confectionery material;
• (p) cooling said filled mold for a period of time depending upon the type and dimension of said confectionery material to harden said material;
• and
• (q) removing said material from said mold.
