3D Chocolate - Christmas Tree, Hearts and Eggs - DIY

I have good news.
1. Some of the Carving Contest's winners have recieved their prizes.
2. It is December and it means Christmas Rush is on.

I have a big hope that all winners will get the prizes before December 31. I wish they can use the things for  the Holiday food presentation. 

As for me, I have got new toys too :) I try the new things out. One of them is Lekue silicone mold for 3D chocolate.

Chocolate made in Lekue 3D molds

You need:

Lekue silicone mold (Christmas Tree, LoveMold)

Chocolate (milk chocolate, dark chocolate, orange, green, white and any),

Sugar decorations for cakes (sugar balls, flaked coconut, sprinkle mix).

Method:

Melt chocolate in a microwave/water bath 

I use water bath. 

Fill the mold with melted chocolate and spread the chocolate by shaking the mold. When you shake the mold  you make air ball go out and the chcolate surface becoming smooth and shiny.

Put some sugar decoration on the chocolate surface.

Or you can go other way. Draw an ornament on the mold using a bright chocolate, let it freeze, and after that fill the mold with dark chocolate. 

Let the chocolate freeze. 

Gently demold chocolates and build the sculptures by bringing the parts together. 

Spread the melted chocolate in the mold.
Shake the mold to make the surface shiny and smooth
