Chocolate mold for Christmas balls Rays

How is it used? Wash the mold with warm water, dry it well and polish it with a dry cloth so that the balls shine afterwards. You can draw small details in the polished chocolate mold, either with tempered couverture, which forms a contrast to the later layer, or with cocoa butter paint; alternatively, use a toothbrush to make fine speckles of paint. Pour tempered couverture into the mold, pour out most of it again to obtain a thin layer of chocolate and place the filled mold in the refrigerator. As it cools, the chocolate contracts and separates from the mold; place it open-side down on a cotton cloth and remove the Christmas balls from the cavities. Glue two hemispheres together with a thin layer of couverture around the edge; if desired, the halves can be filled before joining. For a festive finish, dust the finished balls with a little gold dust. This will give you complete, shiny Christmas baubles with the mold.
