[th]ing in suger [th]at is casten in moldys, sethe [th]em in [th]e same manere 
[th]at [th]e plate is, and poure it into [th]e moldes in [th]e same 
manere [th]at [th]e plate is pouryde, but loketh 3oure mold be 
anoyntyd before wyth a litell oyle of almaundes.  Whan [th]ei are 
oute of [th] moylde 3e mow gylde [th]em or colour [th]em as 3e will.  
3if 3e will gilde [th]em or siluer [th]em, noynte [th]em wyth gleyre 
of an egge and gilde [th]em or siluer [th]em, and if 3e will make

[th]er [th]e stalke schall stand makes [th]at of kanell.

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
