Easter chocolate

Easter is a highly anticipated time and the perfect opportunity to create unique and delicious homemade chocolates. At Cakelicious, we offer everything you need to craft treats that will delight your loved ones: high-quality chocolate, a variety of moulds, and original decorations.

What is the tradition of Easter chocolate?

The tradition of Easter chocolate dates back several centuries and has its roots in various religious and cultural customs. Easter is a Christian holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Before Easter, specifically during the 40 days of Lent, the consumption of rich foods such as eggs and chocolate was restricted. To avoid waste, the eggs laid during this period were decorated and preserved before being given as gifts at Easter. This practice gave rise to the tradition of Easter eggs.

In France and Germany, artisans replaced real Easter eggs with chocolate Easter eggs. They began crafting egg-shaped moulds, then moved on to bunnies, and today even create hens and other Easter symbols. These sweet treats are made using a process called moulding.

Moulding is a technique where melted chocolate is poured into a mould to achieve the desired shape. With this method, you can easily make your own homemade Easter chocolates. Simply choose the shape of your mould (egg, hen, chocolate bar, etc.), select your chocolate (white, milk, dark), and create your confectionery masterpiece.

Which chocolate should I use for my Easter bunnies?

Easter is a much-anticipated time when we enjoy chocolates in all forms. The quality of your chocolate is important when working with it. Couverture chocolate, available in different cocoa percentages, is specially designed for this purpose. Each percentage is indicated on our chocolate packaging. It is the most commonly used type of chocolate in pâtisserie. It is perfect for making chocolate shells, decorations, truffles, and ganaches. This makes it ideal for crafting your chocolate eggs and Easter bunnies. In our selection, you will find two premium chocolate brands: Valrhona and Callebaut. We offer dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate, and special varieties such as caramel-flavoured chocolate (also known as gold chocolate) and fruity chocolates from our Inspiration range.

Which chocolate mould should I use for my chocolate creations?

Once you have chosen your chocolate type, it's time to select a mould. Egg? Bunny? Plastic or polycarbonate? A wide range of Easter-themed chocolate moulds awaits you to help prepare for the traditional Easter egg hunt! Indeed, you will find various Easter egg moulds. The most professional ones are made of polycarbonate, a highly durable material that will allow you to keep your moulds for years. You will also find plastic ones, which work very well but may wear out over time.

Regarding Easter bunny chocolate moulds, we offer different models as well. Whether in polycarbonate or plastic, chocolate moulds in bunny shapes are perfect for your chocolate creations. When selecting your chocolate moulds, remember that to make an Easter egg or bunny in a single chocolate pour, two moulds and clips are necessary. As indicated in our Easter bunny recipe, you need two moulds to create a complete chocolate shell. Of course, you can make each shell separately and then assemble them, but this will leave a slight seam.
