Giraffe mold for chocolate figures

Giraffe mold for chocolate figures

With this mold, you can create an elegant chocolate giraffe in no time at all - ideal as an original gift or as an unusual decoration. As a charming alternative to classic chocolate figures such as Santa Claus or the Easter bunny, the giraffe is perfect both for festive occasions and as a special surprise for giraffe fans of all ages. Before casting, the chocolate mold is cleaned with lukewarm water and mild detergent, rinsed thoroughly and dried completely. It is then held by the edges only and carefully polished with non-fraying absorbent cotton. For a perfect result, only use couverture at a good temperature, as chocolate must never come into contact with water. Colored cocoa butter or tempered couverture are suitable for make-up; white couverture can be colored with fat-soluble powder dyes if desired. For the typical giraffe spots, work from the outside in and apply paint directly to the shape using a fine brush, sponge or gloves. Allow the paint to set slightly in between and turn the mold to keep an eye on the result at all times. To shape, coat the entire mold with couverture so that no air bubbles are trapped, clean the edges with a metal horn and carefully pin the two halves of the mold together. Use the clamps provided to secure the mold and fill it completely with couverture. Carefully tap the mold to release the last air bubbles. Allow any excess chocolate to run out, repeat the process if necessary for a thicker wall, wipe off any drips and chill the mold for 2-5 minutes. Spread some couverture on baking paper and press the slightly chilled mold into it. Then chill again for 10-15 minutes, remove the clamps, chill briefly and carefully unmold the giraffe. Then decorate the chocolate giraffe as desired with fondant, sugar decorations or additional chocolate accents and wrap it beautifully as a gift. miniSchoggi offers suitable courses in figure casting for anyone who would like to improve their technique. With the giraffe chocolate mould, you can achieve characteristic spots and an expressive, elegant figure thanks to different couverture colors - an eye-catcher that will delight every giraffe lover.
