![]() I was curious as to how well the highly intricate detail of R2 would show up in such a gelatinous format, but it turns out that jello is excellent at holding even small details perfectly.

He looked great after he was (very carefully) turned out and he made a fantastic alternative to a traditional Easter egg. The molds are enormous but providing you don’t fill them too deeply you can still create shaped chocolates that won’t break their recipients teeth, Han took around 200g of cooking chocolate to fill to a depth of a few millimetres.

However, a few days after the molds arrived, the UK experienced an unseasonal snowfall, so my three year old son and I made ourselves some colored ice sculptures for the garden. Han Solo measures 10 inches tall (the mold itself is 11 inches long) and even the Millennium Falcon, the smallest of the three, is almost 8 inches long. The most obvious thing to create with an ice cube mold is naturally, an ice cube.
