[Sca-cooks] Marzipan creations, & experiments

[johnna holloway]

Jennifer's comments about molds reminded me that
Beryl's Cake Decorating and Pastry Supplies
catalogue was advertising a product called
CREATE-A-MOLD. It's a reuseable non-toxic
molding gel that can be melted in the microwave.
See it at: http://beryls.safeshopper.com/130/4850.htm?452
or at http://www.beryls.com/mainpage.htm.
It's priced at $15 for 8.5 ounces.
Has anyone tried this???
She also sells silicone plastique for molding.
