LorAnn Hard Candy Making Mold Gems Set - Includes Rectangle, Hexagon and Disc Molds

My daughter and I melted Jolly Ranchers and made the cutest little candies!

Worked great for my candies. The candies were each released from the tray easily, the shapes were very cute. However, the imprints on the trays are shallow, making a small flat candy. I wanted something with more substance. They don't look too nice when put in a candy dish, for that I'll stick to regular square/circle candies. Overall, they are high quality trays that have not warped with the many times I've used them. If the trays cast a candy that was a little bigger, then I would re-order. As it stands I would not purchase these again.

Only received one mold, not either break-away molds like described. Waste of money and unable to return! I only needed the break away molds, the jewels were merely a "bonus" for this and i won't even use them. I wish i could leave no stars at all because this is terrible!

I like this product and they seem to work well. The only problem I had was the second time I used on of them it broke while trying to remove the candy. Even with that happening I would recommend this product.

For a first time candy mold maker, this product made my experience an awesome one! I would suggest making a small batch because it takes a while to fill each mold and then the melted sugar cools down by the end of filling 3 sheets. Also, the molds won't hold more than a small batch and you'll end up making blobs to use the leftover sugar, or throwing it out. But once the gems are cool and popped out, they are simply beautiful!! And so perfect for what I needed!

These look and feel like the plastic is too thin. I'd love to see these made with silicone instead. That said it does work quite well for making hard candy. I make what I consider to be a quarter batch of hard candy using 1/2 cup each sugar, light corn syrup, and water. And it fills one tray perfectly with great results. To avoid having sharp edges, break apart once completely cool, place in a plastic container with powdered sugar, put on the lid and shake for a couple minutes. Basically like a rock tumbler.

works great!

Works great for making candies from hard-tack candies, to soft gummies, to chocolates. This is the best consumer-grade brand of molds out there. Make sure when making hard-tack, gummies, etc. to liberally oil (spray oil works best) or grease your molds (and liberally sugar your candies after.) Any candy being made above hard-tack temperatures will be too hot for these molds and will melt them. Also ensure that you do not overfill the break-apart molds or the candies will be more difficult to break-apart cleanly. The gem molds are great for making decorations for confections, cakes, etc.

They are thin so handle with care as they crack rather easily. I was using the recipe from Lorann and had to write them to figure out how many molds were needed for their single batch and bulk batch. 4 for single and 6/7 for the bulk batch. I hope this info helps someone. The molds can be bent very carefully in order to get the candy out. Today I just made a batch and with a little bend of the mold they came loose. Take great care when removing the staples from the molds because you could crack the mold.

It is nice, a bit fragile tho! Good for epoxy resin

I had to return the order, as only the Jewels mold arrived, the hexagon and rectangle molds were not included in the shipment.

One was broken but good anyway

These came well packaged.However, they are pretty fragile and they have stapled the labels onto them so when you try to remove the panel you risk breaking the moulds.Very shallow, not enough space for a full recipe of hard candy.With shipping added, these are more expensive than the silicone moulds and really aren't worth the price.I'd been hoping to use them to have less waste on candies, not have as much space between holes.... the end of the day, I'll stick with the silicone molds and just try to work faster.
