I am making a cake for Ohio Right To Life appriciation dinner. I wanted to make a reusable mold of the feet so that I can make a bunch of them to put on the cake. I have a pin but I am not sure how to make a mold from it.

TIA

Are you trying to make a cake mold or a mold for decorations?

mold for decorations I want them to be the same size as the pins
they are tiny, they are the size of ten week old fetus feet.

check out this site http://www.culinart.net/silicone.html

ive never used it before but it says its food safe. i know the feet pin you are talking about though and it IS tiny. maybe something like this would work better? edible sugar baby feet:

sugarcraft.com carries a candy mold shaped like baby feet as well but they probably would not be the perfect size.

good luck!!

I am not sure if this will work with something as small as you are trying to mold, but here is a link to making a mold out of gumpaste by Liis.

If you can use one of the pins you can get the silicone plastique which is a mold making medium. You have a white and a blue that you put together and knead until its all one color. Then you form it to your item that you want to copy and let it sit for a few hours to overnight. It works really well and its a lot easier than trying to pour a mold. You can get it at Chef Rubber and I believe if you google silicone plastique you can get it right from the maker. Sugarcraft sells it also.

The link Pottedmeatchunks provided (http://www.culinart.net/silicone.html) has really great instructions on making silicone molds from Silicone Plastique. I've used it with very good results.
