I'm looking to buy. They are for a wedding cake for a friend. I'll check out the link. Ans I would welcome any others. Thanks so much!
i find them extremely easy to make yourself. if you have a hobby lobby or michaels near you, they sell the seashell chocolate mold. i then buy the white and light brown chocolate melts, melt them sep. and then swirl them together. pour them in a piping bag and pipe ito the mold. let harden for 15 minutes and voila...chocolate seashells! cheap and easy to do
I make my own too, and sooooo much cheaper! I buy my shell molds from a local specialty cake store, they have a much better selection than Michael's type stores.
If you don't have one in your area you can find the molds online. They are only a couple of bucks each, and then you have them forever and can make seashells in any color that they sell candy melts or chocolate.

Ooookkkkkk I'll give it a shot & try to make them myself. LOL! Fingers crossed. Thanks for the advise!!!
I just made some using silicone molds from First Impressions that I got from . I lustre dusted them once they were dry. They were SUPER easy to make; you should try them.
Those turned out great! Are they fondant or chocolate?

this is an ocean themed sharlk cake i did for one of my kid's grad party. the shells are gumpaste, as i like to make them as thin as the real ones are, so GP dries harder than fondant, and rolls thinner. painted with petal and luster dust. good luck!
Here are my fondant shells. Roll the fondant thin and press into the molds dusted with cornstarch. After sitting a while, gently tip over, tap out the shel and lightly rest back in the mold to set a little while longer. Then they can be set out to finish drying. Fondant shells turn out so much like real shells.

I live at the beach. I make my own molds from real shells. I like a product from Clay Ally called Ally Goop. It is a food safe silicone molding material. It sets quickly and is very idiot friendly. Shells can be cast of chocolate , fondant or gumpaste.
I want to make these!! I'm a beginner where should I start?
1-molds
2-dust colors
3-fondant/gumpaste
4-cornstarch (to prevent sticking in molds and also absorbs moisture-helps drying)

I've made them out of chocolate and assorted dusts--they were so realistic people asked twice if they really could eat them. I brushed a thin coating of chocolate inside the mold.. some chipped on the edges just like real shells do. Try it, they're really not hard at all.
That's exactly what I experience. People are affraid to eat them. I've even been criticized for putting real shells on cakes.... sheesh.. cake muggles...
Sandy
No fear here--they dove right in after I assured them no teeth would be broken! It's a compliment when they find them so realistic! Keep an extra few on site and if someone is critical because they think they're real, pick one up and take a bite!

That's exactly what I had to do to get them to realze they weren't real.
