FAQs
What is the best way to fill the mould?
Fill the cavities evenly with tempered chocolate or melted Deco Melts. You can use a small spatula or spoon to ensure all details are covered without overfilling.
How long should I freeze the chocolates?
The recommended freezing time is approximately 15 minutes. The exact time may vary slightly depending on your refrigerator's temperature and the thickness of the chocolate layer.
Can I use regular chocolate chips?
For best results and clean release, it is recommended to use tempered chocolate or FunCakes Deco Melts. Regular chocolate chips may not set as firmly or release as cleanly from the mould.
What material is the mould made of?
The mould is made of firm polystyreen, which helps in achieving crisp details and easy demolding.
How many chocolates does this mould make?
The product description does not specify the exact number of cavities. Typically, chocolate moulds have multiple cavities; check the product packaging for specific details on the number of chocolates per mould.
Is the mould dishwasher safe?
No, this mould is not dishwasher safe. It should be hand-washed with warm water and mild soap.
Troubleshooting
Chocolates are sticking to the mould
Ensure chocolate is fully set and cold. Try tapping the mould more firmly. Using a higher quality tempered chocolate or Deco Melts can also help.
Chocolates have air bubbles or incomplete details
Tap the mould gently after filling to release air bubbles. Ensure chocolate is at the correct temperature and consistency. Clean the mould thoroughly to remove any residue that might interfere with detail transfer.
Mould seems flimsy or difficult to handle
Ensure the mould is at room temperature. While firm, polystyreen can be more rigid when cold. Avoid excessive force.
