The faces remind me of the doorknockers in Labryinth.
I like.

Thanks for that tip!

I’m having a ton of fun with this stuff so far, as is Nefarious. I have so many things I want to make…

Very cool!
My favourite thing to cast in silicone molds is cement! It eventually degrades the silicone (or so I’ve heard, I cast cement in the same silicone mold at least 6 times) but the castings are super cool.

The bubbles can be avoided by first doing a slip coat. Fill the mold completely with chocolate then dump it out. Repeat. Take a paint brush and go over any thin looking areas to thicken them up then finally fill the mold and let it set. You should end up with a perfect casting.

I like the bubbles, actually. And I think that thumping it on your counter should also raise the bubbles to the top.
