12 ways to use your Kaleidoscope Heart Mold
Traditional baking, cold-molded desserts and arts & Crafts
ZANDA PANDA Specialty Bakeware introduces a second design in the new Kaleidoscope Collection.
The Kaleidoscope Heart mold can be used for traditional baking, cold molded desserts and arts and crafts projects. This flexible silicone mold is 9" in diameter and is divided into eight equal heart-shaped slices. It's perfect for engagement parties, showers, anniversaries, Valentine's Day treats, or just to say "I love you!". Use this versatile mold for creating cakes, cookies, chocolate, flan, decorative tea sandwiches, and No-Bake Backwards Cakes™. Make creative arts & crafts projects and handmade gifts like clay jewelry, fragrant guest soaps or cast paper valentines and notecards.
The Kaleidoscope Heart mold is made of 100% food-grade, FDA approved, platinum cured silicone, with a temperature range of -40 to 446° F (-40 to 230° C) and is oven, microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this design will be donated to the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women movement.
Bake the perfect cake: Brush interior of pan with a light coating of melted vegetable shortening and dust with flour. We do not recommend baking sprays. Prepare batter as usual. Bake at 300°F (slow oven) for 50-60 minutes for 1/2 box of mix (or equivalent), about 75 minutes if you're using all the batter at once. Good indicators of doneness are when a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and cake begins to pull away from pan. For best results, open oven door a bit and allow cake to cool completely in oven before removing. If desired, glaze or dust with confectioners sugar.
Cookies: Use as a cookie mold, or the cookies can be baked right in the mold for sharper detail. An easy shortbread cookie recipe is included on the packaging. Also try this sugar cookie recipe.
Make elegant ice cream sandwiches: Use two heart shaped cookie segments each and fill with your favorite ice cream, sorbet or frozen yogurt. Bake adorable heart shaped mini sandwich cookies! See a video demo on making them!
No-Bake Backwards Cakes™: Make a shell by brushing in chocolate or confectionary coating, or pressing edible clay into the mold, then fill with ice cream or your favorite fillings. More detailed instructions are on the N-BBC page.
Chocolate: Top a cake. Make adorable filled chocolate hearts (use two each). Use as appliqués to decorate cupcakes.
Upside-Down Pie: Press pie crust into mold and on sides of pan. Fill with your favorite fruit filling. Cover with rolled out crust, crimping edges. Make several small vents in center. Bake at 350° F for 60-70 minutes, or until crust has browned and filling begins to bubble. Allow to cool completely before removing from mold. Invert onto serving plate, design side up.
Calzones: Use basically the same method as above. Line mold with pizza dough, fill with spinach, cheese, mushroom or pepperoni, or use your favorite pizza toppings. Stretch dough over filling and seal edges. Bake at 350° F until nicely browned.
Tea Sandwiches: Cut crusts from soft, thick-sliced bread. Press into the base of the mold, covering one triangular section. Be sure to firmly press into all areas to pick up the detail. Using kitchen shears or a knife, trim edges. Fill with cream cheese, salmon and capers or make the most elegant PB&J sandwiches ever!
Bread: Use your favorite bread recipe to make a very pretty loaf.
Topper: Paint chocolate or confectionary coating into the base of the mold, or press marzipan or edible clay into it. Then place on a previously baked and cooled cake or cheesecake and peel the mold from the topping for instant elegance. For even more pizzazz, highlight details with edible 'gold' dust.
Cast Paper: Make cast paper valentines or notecards, invitations etc. Find directions on the Cast Paper Demo page.
Handmade Soap: We'll have a demo soon! It's very fast and easy to make your own fragrant, decorative soaps, using your microwave and Zanda Panda molds. Create a little luxury for yourself or give a heartfelt, handmade gift!
Clay art: Use air dry clay or any non-toxic clay for fun, kid-friendly art projects. A perfect rainy-day activity!
