If you buy the same kind I do, no, they won't work.  Plastic molds will 
melt with the high temperature or at a minimum will warp.  The rubber 
ones probably won't work either because of the high temperature.  

Master Dyfan ab Iago from AEthelmearc made a large sugar swan from 
melted sugar and used one of the "ice" molds that one freezes water in. 
 I'm assuming it is metal - Never saw it, but I do have a photo of it.

Claricia made mention of scanning in photos.  Actually, I have quite a 
collection from over the Known World that began as the photo album of 
the Interkingdom Guild of Confectioners.  (May it rest in peace!)  If I 
read Claricia's e-mail aright, she (you!) live in Canada so mailing 
stuff up there is somewhat iffy.  Anyone live in the US that would want 
to scan in photos and set up a web site???  If the photo was sent into 
the Guild, can it be put on a website or does it need permission from 
the person who took it??
