Abstract
An ice mold includes a first mold assembly and a second mold assembly, each including a base with an aperture and a mold attached to the base. Each of the molds includes a receptacle that forms a cavity. The first mold assembly is attached removably to the second mold assembly such that a liquid-tight seal is formed between the molds. When the first mold assembly and the second mold assembly are attached to one another, the cavities of the molds form a molding cavity. When the first mold assembly and the second mold assembly are detached from one another, each of the receptacles is moveable from a first molding position, in which the receptacle is positioned within the respective aperture of the base, and a second inverted position, in which at least a portion of the receptacle of extends outwardly from the aperture.
