Well the site doesn't give the instructions. So here is what the magazine pg said...
"use a paintbrush to apply melted white chocolate onto the mold's portraiture details. Refrigerate for 5 min. before filling the rest of the mold with melted dark, or white chocolate dyed with food coloring. Let cool then release."

They are pretty..and I've seen them IRL.
My SIL sells them in her Bakery..mostly ordered for Bridal Showers..They're a big hit. They have the cutest ones for Baby Showers too. I don't think I'd have the patience for the detail painting part, but I can see Kathleen whipping them up...lol

Karen, very pretty cameos. I can see Kathleen whipping them up too. DM always made candy with molds so I have a lg selection. I have paint brushes I use to make these.

Jane, they are pretty simple and fast to make if you throw them in the freezer between colors.

DGD and I made a Gingerbread cottage out of candy last Christmas and she mentioned we needed to make another one the other day. It was cute and she loved painting all the little details different colors. I told her we would do this again one of these days when she spends the night with us. Thanks for the reminder on this.

DD makes alot of these type candies for her DD preschool parties.

Punk, maybe you could make a little Valentine house with her! I remember trying to make candy in those little molds--none of mine turned out anywhere near as pretty as these, Karen. LOL

Yrs back I made some ornaments with shell(scallop)shaped candy molds by using Plaster of Paris.
I embedded a rounded-top hairpin with the top portion sticking out so that became a hanger, plus, the hairpin acted like re-bar and strengthened them.

Then I painted, used crackle painted, iced, foiled or glittered & used ribbon as a hanger.
They were perfectly sized for a smaller tree,top of tree, bowls...and were really quite inexpensive to make,

These are very tempting for me also. Pink and blue chocolate, what could be better.

Those molds are so cute. I would never have the patience to do that!

Those are pretty! I can see them being used in a tablescape.
You girls give me way too much credit! I mean I would give it a try, but I am no means an artist.
I think Luvs would be good at it! :)
I may send for the molds though. I bought a lot of those melting discs and never got to them for Cmas!

Prediction for 2011:

I see candy cameos in Kathleen's future.

Those are really quite cool! But I'll have to pass!
Kudos to you, kathleen, that you bought melting discs & still have them altho they were to be used at Christmas. I bought a bag of chocolate peanut butter ones in Oct cause thought g'kids might like to give it a try over Tksgvg weekend...but, alas, the PB discs got sampled & then the bag was gone before turkey day! Ummmm, NO willpower! LOL!

Thanks, PM, pretty cool! Jeanne S.

No will power here, J...just a bad memory! Forgot I had them!

OA, how do you do with stocks? :)

What a lovely idea. They are too pretty to eat. I have a lot of candy molds but haven't used them in ages. I made the peppermint roses for my daughters' weddings. That was a major undertaking but everyone liked them.

The cameos are beautiful..I wonder if they make the same type of mold with teddy bears or eggs or bunnies or hearts. I think I will check this out. - Marylee

Jeanne, I totally understand. ;o) No willpower here either. Things like that just keep calling my name until they are all gone! LOL
