[Sca-cooks] Shrimp mold was Mairi Ceilidh

[Olwen the Odd]

Maire, to make a shrimp mold simply take a couple different size shrimp and 
freeze them hard, then press (past the half-way point) into a block of 
Sculpy then press the other side (past the half-way point) into another 
block of Sculpy.  I have found when making my molds that if I leave the item 
in the mold crevase then mark with a line or a divit that I match the two 
sides up when I put the marzipan in the mold.  Since shrimp are fairly thin 
I push them in past the half-way point to give them a little fatter, thus 
stronger, body.  Oh, and make sure to press their little legs into the 
Sculpy too, or at least I do.  You don't have to colour the marzipan because 
it is the right colour, just take a paintbrush and liberally brush a good 
coating of saunder into the mold.  Easy as pie!
