Shortbread Mold: Prizes Available If You Find Mold!

Ewwwww!  Has Ann gone into a home-based penicillin biz?  What is shortbread mold?!

No, silly. I'm referring to baking molds - those pretty terra cotta molds in which I bake my delicious shortbread. 

I own about 60 of these round molds.  They were made by a company called Hartstone out of Ohio.  The product is called The Shortbread Mold.  It's about 9" around and is scored into 8 triangular wedges with a pretty heart and tulip motif. 

Anyway, these molds have never been an issue while I was baking in my humble kitchen because I could only fit 3 in my oven at once. 

Now that my commercial bakery is almost finished I have the ability to bake about 40 of these babies at once in my new oven (photos coming soon)!  Here's the problem:  I need more molds and Hartstone doesnt' make them anymore.

I frequently search e-Bay and find them there.  However, I've never found them anywhere else. 

Here's the deal: Find me one of these babies on e-Bay or in a flea market (I won't pay more than $15 for it) and I'll reimburse you for the mold, cost of shipping it to me, AND give you a FREE holiday shortbread.

Got moldy questions?  E-mail me at jsaz@gmavt.net for more details.

hey ann,

a brilliant idea i have...why not get the current mold you have now and let a potter make an impression of it and design all the pie mold you want. i know a few potter that may be willing to help. judy bush is one, off the top of my head...
