I bought this mold to make fancy swirl designs. Before this mold, I had to use my wooden loaf mold, having to cut and wrap freezer paper, pouring only enough to get the thickness of bar desired and only getting 6 bars (when I usually get 14 bars if poured at the 4.5 lb. full size). Although this 6" silicone square mold can achieve this goal of making fancy swirl designs, the 6" square shape doesn't give me the size bars I sell. I can get 2 bars my normal size, but then only small bars with the rest -or- 4 square bars, which are awkward and very different from the size soaps I sell -or- all small, guest size bars.

Hi Marla! I'm sorry this mold wasn't your favorite. We've found it's great for creating square bars, as seen in this Rainbow Hearts Melt and Pour Tutorial. You may like our 10" Silicone Loaf Mold, so you can have more rectangular bars. I'll be emailing you personally to discuss this!
