Butter Molds

Now that I've been making my own butter, I wanted to step things up a notch. Do something fun. Something pretty.

So I ordered a silicone butter mold.

After making the latest batch of butter, I simple smushed it into the mold and popped it into the fridge for a few hours.

When the butter was firm, I popped the molds out.

How cute are these? I think they would be great to take to a dinner party, along with some homemade bread. But really, no special occasion is needed to appreciate butter whimsy.
