I am thinking of buying a 3d 2 piece mould for easter and selling them at a local store, has anyone made these??? are they very time consuming???
I'm thinking I'll need Alot of eggs.... i think the mold i'll get would do 3 eggs at a time.

thanks for any responses

HammIamm,

I think the most time-consuming part of doing chocolate Easter eggs really depends on the type of chocolate you're using.

If you're using a "summer coating" chocolate, that doesn't need tempering, then they'll be quick to pour, let set, and pop out of the mold.

Then it's only a matter of how much detail you want to add in or onto your finished eggs.

PM me if you have any more detailed questions about working with chocolate. I'm no Jaques Torres (gods, I miss his shows on Food Network!), but know my way around chocolate enough to be of some assistance.

HTH, and good luck with them!

Can't answer your questions but am curious what 3 D mold you are referring to?
I too am getting my Easter items lined up and trying to decide what to make/not make. Easter is a favorite! icon_smile.gif

Hey everybody! icon_biggrin.gif This is my very first posting! So forgive me if I miss some protocol.

I'm a newbie at chocolate, doing a 3D chocolate Martini glass and having some problems. I was wondering if I could PM you also IndyGingerbread. The two pieces of my mold don't have a dimple to fit together well. I'm using the black clips. The rim of the glass comes out too thick and when I shave it down it leaves a bad edge. How can you smooth edges in chocolate? The same thing happens on the mold joint down the side of the glass. How do you "erase" it?

Thanks for your help.
