check this out............or you can make them by making an impression in gumpaste, letting it dry, and then using that as a mold......or you can make an impression in cornstarch or cocoa powder and pour melted chocolate in it as a mold.

Hi, I found this by googling,, maybe it'll help...


Step One: The SIMPLE molds..
Just buy some molding clay and shape it into what you want your finished product to look like, cutting pieces away here, pushing little indentations in there.
As you work with the clay, it will harden into your mold.

You can also make a mold by filling a cookie sheet just less than full with a liquid acrylic or some other substance that will dry hard.

Before it dries, take your favorite plastics and lay them into the acrylic.

When the liquid starts to set, pull the plastics out. Make adjustments to the mold as needed.

Keep reading for different applications, various molding materials and dozens more ideas you can use at home, or in the back yard if you prefer a breeze in your face.

does the cornstarch/cocoa powder really work? I need half a chocolate wine bottle to lay on a cake. Has anyone ever tried this for a mold before?
