Any idea where I can find ' cheap' silicone molds? All I find are expensive ones, Thanks

Good luck with that one. Silicone molds are just plain ol expensive, but worth it for the most part.
Have you checked on ebay? I have purchased several from ebay and am very happy with price and quality! One seller I buy from is http://members.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=sweetexpress but I have bought from others as well.
Good luck!

Oh yes, they are expensive. I am actually planning on selling them on the online supply store I am working on.

Rylan, be sure and post your store website here when you have it ready to go.

Definitely. I'll make sure the prices will be economical.

thank you all. Will plastic candy molds work?

I use the plastic molds too. I've found that it's easier to get the fondant out if I use Pam spray instead of cornstarch in the mold. There are some really neat ones that are made for fondant...google "fondant baroque mold".

Try the clay aisle at Michael's, JoAnn's or Hobby Lobby. With a 40% or 50% coupon the prices are pretty reasonable. Sculpey I think is the brand name and they have a decent variety.

you guys are great! I never would have thought of the clay molds.thanks

What about soap molds?

Soap molds are usually pretty big.

I saw silicone molds for clay at Hobby Lobby today. I've heard before that some of the clay molds aren't food safe but I'm pretty sure the silicone ones would be.

they have those "guest soap" molds that have small-er cavities - again like the candy ones you'll probably want to make that figurine "hollowed" so its not as heavy.

Thanks..I'm hitting the shops this weekend!!
