Silicone is synthetic but it is considered safe because it does not contain BPA or phthalates. While the cold in my freezer makes the transfer of possible (and probable) BPA in my old plastic ice cube trays very low the silicone ice cube trays make it zero.
After seeing Dollar Store Crafts posted some killer silicone ice cube trays to use as sugar molds; I figured it was high time I made the switch to something I knew that was safer. I stalked my Dollar Tree for three weeks to get Blitzkrieg silicone skull ice cube trays because when you have a one eyed pirate dog like Blitzkrieg every day is Talk Like a Pirate Day! (It’s more of a lifestyle choice for us, really.)
Ahoy!
What I really like about the silicone trays, other than them being BPA free, is that the skull ice cube trays make slightly smaller ice cubes. Blitzkrieg likes to cool down from a walk on a hot summer day with an ice cube or two and my new silicone trays make the perfect Pekingese size ice cube.

Thanks for linking to DSC! I am having fun crafting with my silicone mold, and I have to say the fact that it is bendy is just awesome! Thanks for giving me more reasons to use these as actual ice cube trays! :)
