Nope. It was a rubber ice sculpture mold that he DIDN'T throw away. He was
going to re-use it for the same purpose recently until horrible bout with
Carpul Tunnel Syndrome scotched the idea (did someone say Scotch?). It seems
the sugar is poured in, and the mold must be held at various angles while
the sugar cools enough to stay in it's area. Then more sugar is poured in,
etc.....  The swan is hollow in the end, and we had plans for a procession
of them, lighted from inside with candles, necks decorated with marzipan
rose wreaths. Sigh. It would have been wonderful.

I have a flat-bed scanner at work, and I'm the sole employee <heehee>. I
live in North-east Pennsylvania. How can we do this?
