SilikomartSilicone Classic Collection Mold Shapes, Semi-Sphere, Mini

I bought the XL and mini sizes at the same time, but they shipped from different sellers. The mini molds (from seller "Brilliant Deal's") came in Silikomart packaging with a certificate of authenticity. The XL molds (from seller "Pastry Chef's Boutique") were just loose in a cardboard box with no packaging or certificate. Both have the logo on the back, although the texture of it is different between the two which can be another red flag for counterfeit items. There was no noticeable difference in quality between the two, though, and I didn't want to wait to get a replacement, so I kept both molds. They ended up working equally well! Photo is pre-glaze mousse half-spheres made using the XL molds, and I'm really happy with how they turned out. I also made jellies using the mini molds and they both seemed to do exactly what they're meant to do, although I definitely recommend freezing before trying to turn anything out of these molds.

Silikomart as described.

Worked great with chocolate. I also used the mold to freeze my sourdough starter.

Way to work with

I made frozen chocolate mousse semi-spheres with this mold and it worked very well - pulling the frozen chocolate mousse semi-spheres from the mold was very easy, cleanup was a breeze (it has sort-of a non-stick sheer glossy coat, which is great).

It's useful for our recipe developement.

I love working with silk mats rather than direct metal surface, much easier to clean, remove, and bakes more evenly.

I ordered the item pictured (8 half sphere mold) and i received the 6 half sphere mold. Seller hasn’t returned messages.

My wife is cooking a LOT and soon she will go pro, got this product and yes, its a premium!! It comes in the pack with a booklet and this company has amazing but amazing products!!! This one in particular is just great, had before £4 mould same size.....bin after using it twice. This one went in the oven for 6 times one after another, just great! She’s putting on the bottom a tray with some water to avoid for the mould to get burnt.If my review helped you in any way, could you please click on the ‘helpful’ button below? Thank you

The media could not be loaded.  Used this mould to make chocolate spheres for hot chocolate bombs and they work like a dream! So much so that I’ve ordered one more! They’re a little more pricey than other moulds but it’s the quality that you’re paying for... All in all 10/10 :)

This silicon mold is great for making chocolate bombs - this is my first attempt, from tempering the chocolate to filling them with chocolate mousse. They turned out of the mold really easily, no problems. It seems very strong and is good quality so unlikely to split if you don't use sharp objects or have long nails!I followed the advice on cleaning and oiling just before first use so that must be why they turned out easily.The finish is professional-looking and I hope to get better with practice. Next try will be making a strawberry mousse bomb!It's a nice way to spend a couple of hours if you have the time 😊

So easy to use and so effective. Buying these to use for a dinner party dessert, I was a little concerned at how many would break and be wasted when turning out, so I did a test run. I used cake release on one sphere before brushing with the chocolate and just chocolate on another. Cake Release is not needed and actually turned out much worse than the chocolate alone. The spheres worked brilliantly and all 12 turned out perfectly - you just need to have faith and be brave! (NB - make sure the top of the spheres have adequate chocolate and brush right to the very top, unless you want an uneven rim)

Every illustration of this mould, on the various Amazon pages on which it appears, whether on my laptop or my mobile, shows two moulds. A litttle like the two tart pans i bought earlier this week. A pair. One mould on top of the other. both clearly "together" When the order arrives the buyer discovers to his chagrin that there is only one mould. At best this is very disappointing. In the unlikely event that it was done by mistake it is an innocent error and should be corrected. In the more worrying event that it was done deliberately this is a shameful misrepresentation and should be rectified.
