A little capybara to brighten your dessert table. This flexible silicone mold creates a seated, three-dimensional capybara with tiny ears, a rounded snout and little paws. Fill it with a chocolate pudding or jelly that sets firmly enough to hold its shape, then reveal a characterful dessert ready to decorate.

The soft mold can be gently peeled away from a fully set dessert, helping you release the finer details without pulling on the ears or face. Place it on a small tray before filling so it is easier to move to the fridge, and allow plenty of setting time before unmolding. A spoonable pudding will not hold the same shape, so choose a recipe designed to be turned out.

Serve your capybara on a bed of biscuit crumbs, add small edible eyes, or keep the decoration simple and let its shape do the work. It makes a playful project for capybara fans, an afternoon treat or a themed dessert table.

Includes one reusable silicone mold. Finished desserts, decorations and serving plate are not included. This is the mold featured in my capybara dessert video.
