Fun World Heart Jello Mold Halloween Decoration - Make Your Own Gelatin Hearts - Terrify Your Friends, Kids and Halloween Party Guests

I had a Halloween emergency (makeup artist life) and I needed a heart ASAP. Sculpting my own was leading to messy lumps I did not want to stamp my name on. Did you know buying a realistic fake heart can cost about $50 or MORE? Which lead me to buying this mold. I figured I could make my own gelatin mix and just paint it. So I did. It came out gorgeous and so realistic. It's not THAT realistic since it's bigger than a real heart, but made my eating heart photo shoot a success! Thanks to Amazon it came super fast too, the only thing I recommend for life like appearances is not filling it all the way. I set mine in an ice bath to set faster and the shrinkage made it easy to slide out and then paint. I honestly have NO idea if this method will work for actual Jello so don't blame me if it doesn't work for you. Mix pink and plain jello for a life like color and cover in strawberry syrup blood ;p

This jello mold turned out to be a lot nicer than I expected. It is very durable and sturdy with lots of detail. I did not try the standard jello jiggler receipe. I added a pack of unflavored gelatin to the jiggler receipe because I needed mine to really be firm and they had to last the week while I made enough for the whole class (bought 2 molds and popped them out every 8 hrs). I think each mold used 3 boxes of jello so warning you will need to buy lots of jello. They do not have a "flat" side so I placed them in a cake pan and just packed some kitchen towels around them to keep them standing up while they set up in the frig. Also found it works out better if I sprayed them with oil first. We used them in my anatomy class and had the kids place a colored stick through their jello heart to mark the spot we where discussing . It was a fun project and everyone loved the jello heart.

I haven't got to use it yet but it's very sturdy and looks like it will do wonderful, I'm excited to try it out for my Halloween cake this year. Also was delivered fast and can't beat the price.

Durable plastic that holds up to heat well.Advertises for Jello and while I've used it for such things, what I needed it for was a gummy heart.So gummy is a bit stickier so I starched the inside and proceeded to fill in the veins with blue melted gummy and then the rest with red. When I was done I had to steam the casing to get the heart to release still but when it came out, I was very pleased with the result. Not only was the mold reusable but the heart came out with great definition and looked great.Tricky to wash though, but that's inherent to the detail.PROS:Sturdy plastic designGood detailReusableCONSWish the rim was flatter so that it was easier to balance in a bowltricky to clean thoroughlytricky to get molded heart out of mold

I got this to make chocolate hearts for Halloween and it worked great! I filled them with stickers, candy, and other surprises.

This is a very rigid plastic mold. It does not stand up by itself (removed a star for this) and therefore I used aluminum foil and rolled it into a makeshift frame that held it nicely. I used this to mold jello and had a very hard time removing the jello after it set without it starting to lose its shape. The artery/vein details shown in the photo were not as clear on my heart (I made molds using raspberry and strawberry jello) as in the photo. Ultimately to get the jello out, I had to try multiple times (I usually have no difficulty removing jello from molds) and wound up actually lining the mold with some plastic wrap before pouring in the jello, then I simply pulled out the plastic wrap and out came the mold. This definitely could have contributed to the less distinct detail, but even without the plastic the jello came out so poorly the details were lost regardless.

This thing is super cool. Just be aware we had some issues with spilling got to get the right bowl to sit it in to hold the mold. Also finding the right way to have the jello come out without breaking is tricky. But the mold itself is freaking awesome!

The gelatin heart mold is as creepy as I had hoped it would be. The mold is sturdy and in great condition. I love it! I used a combination of red and purple jello. The finished product was easily removed from the mold. The challenging part was figuring out how to balance it in the refrigerator once filled. To do that, I balanced it between two one-pound bricks of butter. Worked like a charm. At the end of an Edgar Allan Poe unit of study for middle school students, I will make 6 of these to represent The Tell-Tale Heart. Great item!
