Because I've been getting a lot of questions about my gummy souls, specificly the mold, here's a photo!



I used about 2 lb CopyFlex food-safe silicone, a lb of safe-d-clay, and some release-dit for the mold itself. For the prototypes I used a few blocks of sculpey and some aluminum foil.

Food safe silicone can be bought here: http://www.culinart.net/silicone.html

And of course, the recipe for the gummies:


2 pkg. jello flavor of choice
6 pouches. Knor's unflavored gelatin
3/4 c. Energy Drink (I use Bawls for the blue gummies for color)

1. Pour Bawls into mixing bowl.
2. Stir in gelatin+jello, mix until smooth.
3. Let sit in fridge for 30 minutes to kill carbonation.
4. Pour mixture into saucepan, heat on low heat until melted.
5. Pour into molds/shallow pan, let set.
6. If not using a mold, cut set gummy into bite sized bits.

And the finished gummies are here



Enjoy!

Well, I've finally gone and done it. insanityin3d and I bought some food-safe silicone mold material and made a gummy mold for souls.

Yeah, souls. Little blobby tamashii for our upcoming SE cosplay. I feel like such a geek.

I have to say, I like how the molds came out. First time making any kind of 2 piece mold. At least gelatin is a forgiving material...

From the first 'casting'. These are cherry flavored, using normal water. The next few casts were blue raspberry with Monster in place of water. I liked the blue ones better, which is...at the very least horribly ironic. The caffeine is definitely a bonus.

I can't wait to make more candy molds XD
