I use these silicone ice molds to make soaps. I bought this not out of personal interest but because a lot of my customers are big fans of Dr. Who so my review is based solely on the actual mold and nothing about Dr. Who, lol!
The mold arrived quickly and in great packaging. Not only was it packaged well inside the Amazon box but the packaging of the mold itself was high quality. So many of these molds I get are packaged in flimsy paper boxes or simply stapled to some sort of paper label (hate that!) but this arrived in a nice thick box that was adorned with Dr. Who type things. Would be great for a gift.
The mold itself is extremely sturdy for silicone and doesn't have a weird smell which is nice. The molds itself are nice and deep which is such a relief for a soap maker like me, so many of these end up being very shallow because they are used for ice and chocolate molds, obviously as intended.
They are big molds so I'm assuming if you use them for ice you would only get one or two in a cup/glass depending on the size of your glassware.
Washes easy and has held up through a few soap processes and washes without fault. Would highly recommend this mold.

Works Beautifully For Chocolate But Hard to Remove
I got this to make chocolate cupcake toppers and they turned out perfectly. It took about 2 cups of chocolate chips to fill the entire mold. I used a spoon to fill the mold with the melted chocolate and to help push chocolate into the tiny crevices. I used the back of a knife to swipe across the top of the mold in order to smooth the chocolate and remove the excess. Then, I took the mold and gently shook and dropped it from about 1/2 inch above the table to remove air bubbles before throwing in the fridge. It took only minutes in the fridge for them to firm up completely. The final result was perfectly formed chocolates that stood at approximately two inches each.The only reason I removed a star is because the silicone is a bit stiff making it difficult to remove the final product from the mold without a fair bit of force. So, make sure you keep the chocolate really cold so that when you're having to force them out you're not melting them in your hand and leaving fingerprints. Overall a good purchase that I'd make again.

Bought this mold to make chocolates for my niece's 10th birthday party, which isn't till next month, but who could possibly wait to try these out?
A lot of people seem to complain about it being too flimsy, but I don't have that issue at all. You just need to hold the bottom of it when you place it in the freezer to make ice.
ICE: They are difficult to get out, but with a little determination you can get them out. I think the dalek shape turns out MUCH better than the Tardis, but they're both really cute. Plus, huge chunks of ice. What's not to like?
CHOCOLATE: I really needed this mold to create yummy chocolate treats for my niece's Whovian party next month. The daleks look so beautiful, but again, the tardis doesn't really seem to be all that awesome. However, it does look better in chocolate than ice. So much easier to get chocolate out of the mold, too. I had no issue.
JELLO: I have yet to make them as jello jigglers yet. I'll let you know.
All in all, great product at a nice price. Perfect for Whovians.
