Help??? Ideas on How to Use This Stone?

[deanna_g]

I have a customer who got this stone from Pampered Chef a long time ago and now that it's the 4th of July (and she owns a sweets shop) she's wondering how she can use it. Any ideas?

It's one of the RUFTH molds from before the trivets. She can use it to make cookies. There was also a show stopper demo idea that involved melting jolly ranchers and using the mold to create sun-catcher type candies. Check out the theme show archives on CC to see if it's still up there.

That is a cookie mold.... SO, cookies would be my suggestion Sugar would be the best, I think.

Thanks. I will look!

I used to make chocolate hearts with mine. Freeze the molds, melt almond bark and pour into mold then stick back in the freezer or fridge. The chocolate will pull away from the sides when it's ready and pops right out.

Ultra-crafty people made paper (kinda messy, blender & paper shreds) and you can also bake quickbreads (banana bread, zucchini, date nut, etc.) in them. Anything to show the (bas relief?!) contours of the mold.

There was a toilet paper craft that we used to make in the hearts. That's been ages. I think that it involved a little water, some t.p. and a microwave. Any other oldies remember this one? It was a craft we suggested to parents/scout leaders. Once the paper was "baked" you could decorate with paint, glue, glitter, beads. . .whatever someone would like.

I was going to suggest fudge, but Chefmickey's almond bark idea is even easier.

If she is interest in sell the heart mold I would be interested.
The only one I don't have.

Deanna, you must tell us the story of how you are coming across all these older products-the crock and heart mold, for instance.marghi

I actually used to color the almond bark red and blue, then use a paint brush and paint it on the cold mold, then fill the rest with plain white bark. Time consuming, but awesome! (that was long before I became a consultant!!)

I just got back to this thread (after attending NC) and I'm loving the ideas! Marghi - My good friend who owns a bakery here in town used to be a PC consultant and she has all these molds and some older products. (-: Many of them, I believe, she got at team meetings where they all brought some retired products and swapped! Cool, huh?

totally cool. I love knowing the history of pieces like this.
