Review:“I am super obsessed with this tray and the cubes it makes! I collect anything and everything dachshund, so naturally I had to give these a try. The tray is silicone and has 4 individual dachshund molds. I found it easiest to fill the bottom half portion with bottled water, put the top half on and make sure it’s pressed firmly in place, then tilted the tray a little bit to pour the remaining water into the vent hole to fill the mold. I gave it a few good taps before placing it in the freezer. It made perfectly shaped little wiener dogs.” -Frankie
