I buy mine at so many different places. The best used to be Sugar Bouquets, unfortunately she has gone out of business. But look for things besides chocolate molds, look for candle or soap molds as well. Here are some I did for my granddaughters wedding cake. These are made of gumpaste and dusted with petal dusts.

And here are some sources I like for molds.

And probably my favorite

Click on "Products" at the top of the page and then scroll down to "Sealife"
These are larger molds, but just gorgeous.

I mainly use gumpaste for my shells but I have done some in white chocolate. I use Guittards white chocolate that comes in a 5 lb. block from a store in our area called Cash & Carry. I think they are a chain and might be in areas other than Northern California.

There is a pretty common shell mold that I just got a Michaels in the candy isle for my Hawaiian cake. I've seen it at Walmart and at Joannes as well.
I think you will able to get one pretty easily.
