I bought these molds on a whim. They were cute and I wanted to make some ice cream sandwiches. I bought two sets, but when I got them and read the instructions, I was a bit worried that I really didn't need both of them.
My wife and I split up the work. I made ice cream a couple days in advance. Then she made a sheet of cookie. While the cookie sheet was cooling, I used the molds to cut out the cookie shapes (2 per sandwich) and imprint the little animal faces. Once the cookies were cool and the we had softened up the ice cream in the refrigerator, she placed a cookie at the bottom of each of the assembled molds (suddenly we were happy to have extras). I filled them with ice cream, placed a second cookie on top and then used the top to gently squeeze each sandwich until the ice cream filled out to the edges of the mold (the molds are translucent, so it's easy to see when you've squeezed enough). Then I popped the sandwich out the bottom and she wrapped them in cellophane. Repeat until done.
Now we have a freezer full of adorable little ice cream sandwiches that we can't wait to eat! I can't recommend these molds enough. I had been worried that our first attempt would be marred by mistakes and unseen difficulties, but we followed the instructions and they worked perfectly! |
Perfect for Bento!

| I bought these for our ever expanding collection of food shapers for Bento. They are easy to use with hardboiled eggs and turn out sooo cute! I hard boiled the eggs, cool them just enough to be able to shell them and pop the warm egg in the mold. Press down the plunger part and secure with several rubber bands for a tight fit. once completely cooled, they are adorable and so much more fun than "regular" hard boiled eggs. You can dye the eggs--the pig is cute in pink--with standard food colors. Be sure to use the biggest eggs you can find to fill up the nooks and crannies in the mold. |
perfect in every way; accept no substitutes!

| these little stampers are multi-use tools. i bought them to make rice balls (onigiri), but they can be cookie cutters, food stampers, and of course, sandwich makers. they're easy to take apart, and they come ALL the way apart, which makes them super easy to clean. plus they're adorable, so it's ok to leave them on your counter. i plan on getting all of the sets. they're worth it! |
Fun fun fun

I followed the directions to the "T" and the ice cream sandwiches turned out perfectly. A great addition to our daughter's "farm yard" b-day party. Great ice cream/sandwich combination suggestions also. These are the combos I used:
1. Brownie with vanilla ice cream for the cow
2. Snickerdoole cookie with strawberry ice cream for the pig
3. Peanut butter cookie and chocolate ice cream for the chicken
YUM! |
Great for Lunchbox Sandwiches!

| I picked these up at a yard sale last week and LOVE them. More importantly, my kids love them. I use them to make cutely shaped sandwiches for their school lunchboxes. It makes them so happy, and more eager to eat their lunch! They are really easy to use, and unlike cookie cutters or other molds - make a cute impression on the top of the bread. These are really great, and I plan to get more shapes to surprise them! |
