Question:

Does anyone know where I can get gelatin molds for a kids party?

Im looking for different figures for a 1 yr old girl.

Answer:

Depending on the theme, you may want to use candy molds, which come in many sizes and shapesWilton makes several molds that you could use, but I would suggest that you use cold water to make the gelatin, not hot, or allow the gelatin to cool to lukewarmIf you poured hot liquid gelatin into these molds, you might melt or warp themThere are also similar molds and kits for making Gummy candyThese molds are sold at Michael's craft stores, and Hobby Lobby carries a similar brand of molds, Make'n MoldIf you have a local variety store that has cake decorating supplies, they should carry some as wellIf you just want simple shapes, the Reynolds company (Reynolds wrap aluminum foil, etc.) has those new Fun Shapes baking cups and cake pans (usually sold in grocery stores near the cake mixes), although these may be too big if you want them to be kid-sizedAnother option is pouring the gelatin into a shallow pan (a jelly roll pan or cookie pan with a 1/2 inch edge) and then use cookie cutters to cut out shapesWilton also makes mini shaped pans, which have 4 or 6 cavities for making small cakesThere are also similar silicone pans and pans to make smaller seasonally-shaped cakesAll of these would work well for creating gelatin moldsGood luck and Happy Cooking!
