Claim 16:
17. An ice-shaping device comprising:
A base extending from a first base end to a second base end, the base having a base inside surface and a base outside surface, the base inside surface defining a first ice molding cavity at the first base end, the base comprising a first tab and a second tab at the first base end with a relief area defined between the first tab and the second tab, wherein a first portion of a surface of the first base end that defines the relief area is at a first elevation that is less than a second elevation of a second portion of the surface of the first base end that defines at least one of the first tab or the second tab; and
a cover extending from a first cover end to a second cover end, the cover having a cover inside surface and a cover outside surface, the cover inside surface defining a second ice molding cavity that cooperates with the first ice molding cavity, wherein:
the cover is movable with respect to the base from an open position to a closed position,
when in the closed position, the first tab, the second tab, and the relief area are located within an interior space of the cover defined by the cover inside surface and the second ice molding cavity cooperates with the first ice molding cavity such that melted water from at least one of the first ice molding cavity or the second ice molding cavity is directed through the relief area, and
when in the open position, the first tab, the second tab, and the relief area are not located within the interior space of the cover.
