3 Hole Wood Sugar Mold

Sugar molds are a unique piece of history that we can now enjoy in our modern home decor.  Sugar molds are made of long solid blocks of wood with a series of holes into which raw brown sugar cane syrup could be poured. Once it dried, the syrup formed raw sugar cones that would be wrapped in paper and sold. The cones were easier to transport and store.  At the time, more refined sugar processing methods had not yet been developed.  Although modern technology has changed Americans' ways of doing things, these molds are still used today in Mexico.

These molds are great for holding candles or flowers.  Use your imagination to add a little history into your home decor!
