Making a mold for food substances is more expensive because of the physical requirements of the material.

A simple casting mold can be made quite cheaply. I once watched a bunch of Cuban car mechanics knock up a new 'classic' car trunklid logo in minutes. Just a simple sand cast. (on tv, not in Cuba )


Candy molds are made of "thin" plastic. (Much like the plastic found in a 2 liter coke bottle.)
