Hi Phaed,
Well, here's the recipe that LOOKS like a candy cane:
Joy
Candy Cane Cookies
1 cup powdered/confectioner's sugar
1 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 egg, slightly beaten
3 1/2 cups sifted flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
red food coloring (paste or gel preferred)
Blend sugar into butter until smooth. Add egg, then milk, vanilla
and almond extract and stir until well blended. Sift baking powder,
salt and flour together. Gradually add into wet mixture.
Divide dough in half, and add red food coloring to one half.
To make canes, roll one red and one white "snake" about 1/2 inch
diameter and five inches long. Twist one strand over the other to
form a "barber pole", then curve the top of twisted rope down to
look like the handle of a candy cane.
Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375º for 9-12 minutes.
Optional: Sprinkle with 1/2 cup crushed peppermint stick candy mixed
with 1/2 cup sugar.
TIPS:
The dough is easier to work with when slightly chilled.
To avoid breaking, allow cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for a few
minutes after baking.
Make one complete cookie at a time. If the dough of one color is shaped
first, it may become to dry to twist.
------------------------------
Alternate Recipe
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons almond flavoring
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon red food coloring
Follow same instructions as above.

Hello Victoria,
I have searched everywhere that I can think of this morning, and I found
lots of pudding molds, but none like you describe. Tracing that particular
mold might be a bit daunting. Where did you see the mold? If you know the
name of the shop in which you saw it, that might be the route to take.
I did find quite a few ceramic English pudding molds during my search, so
I'm giving you the locations below in case you want to look at them.
