Steps to Make a Custom Chocolate
Mold Design
Decide how your chocolate will appear and create a drawing of the design. Drawing can be done by hand, by using illustrator software, or by using CAD (computer aided design) software.
Model Making
Make a model of your design and reproduce the model so you have a model for each cavity on the chocolate mold. A model can be made by sculpting, carving, or by computer aided machinery.
Molding
Make the chocolate mold. A plastic mold can be made by vacuum forming or plastic injection. Molds can also be made using food grade silicone rubber.
Casting
Pour the chocolate into the mold. To pour the chocolate, you must first melt it. Depending on the type of chocolate you use, you may also need to temper the chocolate.
Packaging
Package the finished chocolate.
