I nearly forgot.
*Magics you a dozen (that's 12 hehe) chocolate rice crispy cakes* :-p
Here's a quick and dirty of how Silicone stuff is made (as I understand it).
You start with a mold. This mold needs to be compatible with the silicone used inside of it, so the materials must be carefully chosen or else things will fail.
The mold is sprayed with a release agent and is prepped for filling.
The silicone comes in two parts usually which will need to be heated up and mixed together to become "real silicone". During the heating and mixing, things like softeners and colors are added.
Everything is then poured into a mold and tamped to knock out the bubbles. After that, the silicone is set up to cure. The curing varies, though it usually takes anywhere from several hours to several days. Heat usually helps speed the process.
From there the silicone is popped out of the mold and is ready to go!
PS. Mail me some rice crispy cakes.
