‘Chocolate Modelling Clay’ seems strange, but it’s about making a substance you can fill molds with.
It looks interesting, I must see whether I can find beautiful molds.
Actually it’s quite similar to the edible stucco ;-)

Again a really good idea: cut off the bottom of a plastic bottle and let set the pudding in there.
And soon you have a flowery pudding :))
But of course you can do muuuch more with plastic bottles ;-)
Addendum: In my German entry somebody commented saying the following (translation by me):
“Plastic bottles emit softening agents, environmental hormones and bisphenol-A from into their content. All not exactly good for your health. The warmer the content the more they emit. So not a good idea!
If you really want to do this let the pudding at least nearly completely cool down.”

I loved the tutorial for candy shot glasses: you cast candy in glass molds and get glasses that you can suck.
Eh…
;-)
But because 1. I don’t have such glass molds and 2. I am dieting those candy glasses don’t come into consideration for me.
For the time being ;-)

Yesterday I presented boxes, today I have something you can put into: edible stucco.
To make it you buy molds for making stucco from plaster and fill them with sweet stuff.
On the photo they present a marzipan stucco element, but I’m sure that it works as well with chocolate.
As a matter of course the mold has to be unused and therefore neat and clean.

I found a tutorial on easy plaster casting.
The point is mainly to create the mold of a star or the like from aluminium foil and to cast it with plaster.
Even if it is filed under ‘kids crafts’, I find the idea interesting.
I did it once, but I can’t find back my item ;-(
At that time I made a mold with a rounded bottom.
To fix it thoroughly (to prevent the plaster to ‘run away’) I put the aluminium foil mold into a layer of flour.
Sand would be as well.
