Clear plastic candy molds are $2.50 each, and depending on the size and shape of what you’re making and how quickly you want to finish, you may need more than one.

The cake ball should be slightly smaller than the width of the candy mold. Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap, then place in the freezer for 15 minutes to make the balls firm, but not frozen.

You can buy chocolate and candy molds online or browse local markets for square, floral, animal, and spherical shapes in a variety of materials like plastic, silicon, and polycarbonate materials.
