7˝ Eco-Dome™
2
For those of you who need to make a big impression, we offer you these jumbo silicone hemispheres. Why do we call this an EcoDome? It’s simple. Large molds require a lot of raw material and to help the environment, we have developed a way to introduce recycled material into the mold. (Because of the recycled content, this mold should only be used for making display items, not for things that will be eaten.) Due to their large size, these molds are only made on demand and will require a brief lead time. They are perfect for large showpiece bases and are excellent containers if you want to place silicone inclusions (rubber shapes) inside of the mold. Filling the mold and then peeling out your inclusions will reveal interesting recessed patterns on the surface of your dome.

Silicone Half-Rounds
9
These silicone half-rounds are used for propping up sugar items to prevent them from sticking to the surface underneath. (See demonstrated with the Showpeel assembly, plate 12 on page 11.) They can also be put in molds to create cavities when pouring chocolate or isomalt. The uses are limited only by your imagination. A packet includes six 1½˝ (38mm) half spheres and six 2˝ (5 cm) half spheres. See cast Silicone Half-Rounds on pages 112, 125, 137, 139, 182 & 183.

Ring GeoMat™
GeoMat01
A word to the wise: keep this mat under lock and key. Gone are the days of fumbling with round metal cutters to make hollow rings. The mats are fast, versatile and clean. The best part about working with hollow rings is that your showpiece will look open and airy. This is a plus because chocolate display work can look heavy and dense due to its dark color. With this mat, you will be able to knock out modern, light and playful pieces. If you are not convinced, simply flip through the chefs gallery. You will see the rings again and again.

Size: Ring diameters are 5˝, 3½˝, 2½˝, 1½˝ x ½˝ thick. Size: Ring diameters are 12½ cm, 9 cm, 6½ cm, 4 cm x 12 mm thick.
