The invention describes a method for the preparation of gelatin based gummy candies, wherein a liquid candy composition comprising gelatin, bulking agent and water is casted in a mold and allowed to set to provide the gelatin based gummy candies, and the gelatin based gummy candies are removed from the mold. The liquid candy composition comprises, based on the total weight of the composition, 20 w/w % or less water, and the mold is not capable of absorbing water from the liquid candy composition, and at least a portion of the mold that is in contact with the liquid candy composition is resilient. A liquid candy composition suitable to be casted in such a mold and capable to form gelatin based gummy candies upon setting therein is described.

A device for manufacturing food products having an outer shell made of a flowable mixture, which is filled into a mould, wherein a temperature-controlled die (2) is immersed in the mould and extrudes the mixture wherein the mould into which the flowable mixture is filled is a blister (3), wherein the blister (3) is held by a carrier mould (4), wherein the carrier mould (4) has an intake duct (6) for air and has longitudinal vacuum channels (7) and/or transverse vacuum channels (8) between cavities (5).

A mold (1) for the production of confectionery products, comprising a top surface (2) having cavities (2a) and an opposite bottom surface (3), comprising at least one protruding element (5) at the bottom surface (3) of the mold (1) for increasing the heat transfer rate between the mold (1) and a fluid flowing along the bottom surface (3).

A unitary elastic mold and cutter combination configured to mold and cut moldable material is disclosed herein. The mold and cutter combination comprises an elastic mold cavity having an elastic bottom wall with an embossed inner surface and an elastic sidewall extending from and unitary with a perimeter of the bottom wall. An elastic cutting blade extends from and is unitary with the sidewall of the mold cavity and is configured to cut moldable material and maintain a substantially consistent perimeter upon cutting. The cutting blade comprises a cutting edge disposed between an inner cutting blade surface and an outer cutting blade surface. The mold and cutter combination may have an elasticity sufficient to release molded material therefrom by hand stretching, wherein the cutting edge, inner cutting blade surface, and the inner surface of the sidewall of the mold cavity are stretched by an amount sufficient to release the molded material.
