has anyone used this snowflake mold for lotion bars or for soap?

I have only used it for candy, and it worked well, I am sure it would work for soap as it will almost peel away from the candy/soap inside. Hope this helps

I use it as a mold for small solid lotion bars and each bar weighs about .7 ounces.

I think it to small to make a cake. I think it good for chocolate. I use it for making soap and lotion bar with no problem.

We used ours for soap molds and it worked well. We have not tried any other additional uses for this mold.

Im so sorry I use mine for soap mold vs baking. I didn't keep the instructions that came with it but im almost positive it came with instruction let gave you that type information. I do however have another company manual to a silicone mold very similar & they state the mold will start to damage at 446 f-230 c. I have no idea if this is of any help but I thought id do my best to answer your question.

this is a silicone mold, works well for fondant molding, not sure if will work with soap. Since it is a soft silicone, if the soap molding process uses a hot product, it could damage this kind of mold. if the soap is cool and pliable should get good impressions/moldings but due to the shallow depth, it only creates roses that are used for accents (like on top of another item)

Nope -- I have just used the simplehuman soap and softsoap which both work perfectly. The lighter consistency soaps are best.

Without having ever made soap I guess it would all depend on whether or not you want air added to the mixture. If there should not be air and only a dense bar then do not use the balloon whisks. I have a flat whisk I use to remove lumps and blend so it sounds like that's what you might need.

I originally purchased these for soap molds, but they would also be great for panna cotta. They would remove easily from the silicone mold and the shape is perfect.

I purchased this item to use for crafting. I make crayons to sell at craft shows and on Etsy. I love the mold however it doesn't work well with crayon. If you are going to use it for anything other than ice it may not work for you.

I did more research. The silicone is safe to 400 degrees and can be used for soaps, candles etc. but:1. The mold is very shallow so soaps would be very fragile2. Molds used for foods should NOT be used for anything else.So if you want a soap rose a specialty soap mold would likely give a better result. Hope this helps.

I think these would work great as chocolate molds. I use them to make little guest-sized soaps.

Yes, it's perfect for lotion! Just use a double boiler to melt it. Since the beeswax comes in very small pellets it melts super quick! Way better than a beeswax bar!

I have used them for lotion bars but I didn't fill it to the top, only up to and including the 2nd row of petals. The lotion bars end up being 2 1/2" in diameter and almost 1/2" high. I used the tin that is about 3/4" tall and 2 1/2" in diameter. If you fill the mold to the top they are 1 1/4" high (I do that for melt & pour soap). I love, love, love this mold!!!

Yes, all that you have to do is melt in the microwave, add fragrance and color and pour into your molds. I like to use flexible molds as when the soap hardens it is hard to get out of rigid molds. This makes great gifts. Enjoy! PS I wrap the soaps in clear plastic wrap and tie with ribbons.

Hey James, the ice mold is 3.5" in diameter. I did the same thing you are wanting to do, and I used the empty container you'd get from the olive bar at a grocery store or something similar, and they worked just fine. It looks like the space inside the machine where the ice is held, is a little over 4" in diameter. I also used normal ice once all my molds ran out....it was just a chunkier consistency than the fine shave, but still enjoyable. Hope this helps!

From what I can tell, the base of the flower and the top of the flower is app. 2.75". I have finished soap product that is app. 2.5" but it is cold processed soap and therefore has cured to that size. I would say depending on how deep you fill the flower mold, that your lotion bar would fit comfortably in a 6 oz tin if they make those. I put my soap in an 8 oz round tin and it had plenty of room. So, bottom line is the flower mold is app. 2.75" in diameter and the depth is slightly over 1.5". Hope this helps some.
