"Three of my great loves are baking, thrifting, and organizing - and nothing thrills me more than finding a vintage piece that brings both character and function into my home. That's exactly what happened the day I stumbled upon a long, carved wooden tool at a thrift store. I didn't even know what it was at first; I just knew I needed it."
"Turns out, it was a vintage sugar mold, and with a little design guidance from Elana Mendelson, principal designer at Elana Designs, I realized it might be one of the most versatile storage gems you can bring home. Sugar molds (like this one from Amazon) were originally used to shape raw sugar into cones, and while they're no longer needed in modern baking, their sculptural wooden design makes them a standout decor piece today."
Vintage sugar molds are wooden, sculptural tools originally used to shape raw sugar into cones. The molds contain deep cylindrical wells that create natural compartments ideal for corralling small items. The pieces appear frequently at thrift stores, estate sales, and vintage markets and offer both character and function when repurposed. Practical uses include holding tea lights or taper candles and organizing frequently used kitchen utensils. The design combines decorative appeal with everyday storage utility, making these molds versatile home-organizing objects.
