Easter Parade

Well, that time of year is rolling around.  The time when we get out all the Easter Molds and go to town.  Sin Confections has a fair amount of antique Easter Molds, made for molding chocolates, marzipan, and ice cream.

Going into the stash of molds that came from Belgium for the marzipan, a few Easter themed figures were made up in almond marzipan.  Since marzipan is so rich, the molds are small.  The exception to that was the nest, which is quite heavy.  No problem.  We all want to eat marzipan around here.


These little lambs are in bright pink and a luster pink for Easter.



These rabbits are about 2 1/2 inches high.



Here's a closer look.


These chicks just hatched!  About 2 inches high.


These singing birds are under an inch tall.


To be fair, the ice cream mold isn't specific for Easter, but it worked well as a nest for the little chicks molded up in the marzipan.  Next week we'll start posting some of the Easter chocolates.
