The [th] character is the funky character that looks sort of like a
wierd p. The 3 looks a lot like a 3 in my book.
Thank you for all of your suggestions. I think we are going to try
both wooden and plaster molds. I guess the first thing I'll do is
try recipe 13 (To make sugar plate), because this recipe builds on
it. (It's going to take my hubby a little while to carve me a mold
anyhow.)
Has anyone out there done sugar plate? I don't mean the paste kind
of stuff. I can post the original if it would help, but I have no
idea how to "clarify" sugar. Thanks
