Project History & More Info:

I originally made my silicone mold with a 2 part mix from a special effects supply company. I used real LEGO bricks set on a LEGO base, and built a makeshift retaining wall with bricks and play-dough.

I didn't plan to make a tutorial on how to make the mold, but I've been inundated with requests for the last year, so I finally did it! :)

It's amazing to see how much detail the silicone can transfer to the final gummy products. If you look closely at my candies you can even see the little “LEGO” text on top of the gummy LEGO studs.
