SC - pennsic pot luck dish

[margali]

Hmmm. well, I think the unglazed one might bind the ingredients, despite being
oiled with a bit of almond oil and sprinkled with sugar, but it would probably be
ok from a glazed mold.

I have a nice heavy latex mini-scallop shell candy mold I use for buttercreams. I
wonder where I might get a few custom made with peachpits? I think for
experimentation I will try a sculpey until my lord can get a new outlet wired in
the barn for my kiln.

i also use the mini shell for making modern shortbread 'bites' - i even made a
batch of chocolate shortbread shell 'oreos' by making a really heavy vanilla
buttercream to glue 2 shells together.
