created to form a first group of three cavities 31 32 33 while a second resilient cavity portion 20 is created to form a second group of three cavities 21 22 23 in other versions of invention the resilient cavity portions may be formed to define a larger or smaller number of separate cavities the illustrated versions of the resilient cavity portions are formed with sidewalls that extend downwardly from the top of the planar tray curving continuously downwardly and inwardly until they reach the cavity floor 34 as shown in fig3 in one version the sidewalls are continuously curved to define a hemispherical shape in another example a portion of the floor of the cavity is shaped to be flat or planar in the illustrated version a portion of the cavity floor is formed with a convex shape or a slightly raised dome shape in such a version cookie dough is less likely to stick to the bottom of the cavity and releases more freely when a user presses inwardly against an outside portion of the cavity floor by forming the convex bottom portion within the resilient bowl the resilient bowl is more readily able to fold upon itself under a force exerted against the bottom of the bowl and toward the frame as shown in a version in which the cavity portion is formed to define three separate cavities most preferably a substantially flat connector portion 38 39 is provided between adjacent cavities 31 32 33 the connector portions are sized to be snugly received within the recessed portions 16 17 formed in the planar portion of the rigid tray 12 accordingly combined recessed portions and connector portions serve to improve the adhesion between the cavity portion and the tray at an upper rim along the perimeter.
