New, what is it? Jello molds? Or…cake molds?

Bought these at a yard sale as “vintage jell-o molds”, but then saw a photo in a cook book with a small brioche roll baked in something that looks like these? I love them! Just not sure what they’re for…! (Lighter for scale)

Jelly or ice cream molds maybe! How tiny!

Both. They look like aluminum, and there's no reason you couldn't use them for either one
