Instructions

1. Break the isomalt sticks into small pieces into a glass bowl. Two sticks measure just over an ounce. Microwave on high for 45, stir, then heat 15 seconds at a time as needed until the isomalt is melted to a thin consistency and bubbles have formed.

2. Allow the bubbles in the isomalt to subside. Place a large sheet of parchment paper under your silicone mold; use the parchment to swivel the mold when you pour the isomalt.

3. Pour the isomalt into the silicone molds slowly, working from the outer edges of the molds toward the center. Leave enough room in the molds for a second layer of isomalt. If desired, pour two colors at once and swirl them to create an interesting visual effect. Pour a layer of clear isomalt over the first layer; the clear layer will add depth and brightness to the finished mold.

4. Allow the isomalt to cool completely. Remove the pieces from the molds by pulling back the silicone molds at the edges and gently working each piece out of the mold.

5. Attach the isomalt pieces by melting the areas you want to join with a blowtorch or over a flame. Hold the pieces in place until the melted isomalt is cool and hard.
