My attempt at bulldog lollipops

The kids and I attempted to make bulldog lollipops for Valentine's Day. They came out okay except a few of the lollipops had air bubbles. I got the mold off of Amazon for a reasonable price. We tried to make one look like Jack.

LOL   they are cute! they really are!   I think the molds need to be wiggled a little to get the air pockets out.  Dottie is the baker/candy maker in the house

wiggle them, that will do it,    Rick is a wise man (or well trained)

Besides the wiggling, you dont want to sneeze directly over them  LOL

Sooooo Cute

Awesome Job! 

Dottie the candy expert says . . .

Ya need to fill the molds and then tap it on the counter, and the air bubbles will rise up... and actually pop -

Now to make it look like Pete, get an artist brush,  brush the dark color in the areas you want.  Let it set up in the fridge, then once its set, fill the mold w/ the white  -  tapping to get out air bubbles

Now practice practice practice :) :)

send 1 Dozen to Gizmo to give to her Parents for Valentines day :) :)

Air bubbles....

I have made a lot of these.  After you fill the little faces with chocolate or whatever candy, gently lift the mold up and drop it (gently so the chocolate doesn't spill out) on the counter a few times.  That will make the air bubbles rise to the top. 

 

You can also make wonderful Bulldog decorations with this mold using plaster instead of candy, then sand lightly and paint.  Don't use the mold for food again after this though.  Have fun....
