Thanks for the honest review Lisa. Helpful hint: Turn the mold upside down and release the cookie dough trunk first. This can really help if the trunk is breaking when unmolding. Also make sure to spread apart the sides of the trunk when peeling the mold off the dough. If you find the trunk is breaking after baking, be sure to completely fill the cavity in that area to help strengthen that section. Bake on parchment or silicone mat to prevent breaking when removing from cookie sheet.
