The present invention relates to a method for moulding a lollipop from a piece of mass of a sugar bar or a similar material comprising the steps: providing a rotatable central ring (6) having an axis of rotation and a multitude of circumferentially spaced radially extending press chambers wherein each press chamber comprises an insert area to insert a stick into the mass providing a pair of inner and outer stamps per press chamber for pressing a piece of the mass into the desired shape by displacing at least the inner stamp relative to the press chamber. The present invention further relates to an apparatus for moulding a lollipop from a piece of mass of a sugar bar or a similar material comprising: a rotatable central ring having an axis of rotation and a multitude of circumferentially spaced radially extending press chambers wherein each press chamber comprises an insert area to insert a stick into the mass a pair of inner and outer stamps per press chamber for pressing a piece of the mass into the desired shape whereas at least the inner stamp is displaceable and during pressing and the inner stamp is driven by a pressure curve. Another subject matter of the present invention is a plunger preferably for the inventive apparatus.
