Wedding Reception Custom Chocolate Molds

How to Make a Personalized Chocolate Wedding Day Statement

Jun 3, 2009

Putting a couple's personal chocolate stamp on their wedding day is as easy as visiting the local candy maker, even if that candy maker is in the bride's own kitchen.

It is a rare person who doesn’t savor the delectable, soul-soothing goodness of chocolate. So what better way to delight wedding guests than with chocolate that’s fashioned specifically for the bride and groom?

The Beauty of a Custom Candy Mold for Wedding Favors

Candy molds are available from various manufacturers in pre-designed wedding styles and can be found in many craft stores. Typical designs such as wedding bells, a wedding cake and entwined hearts are easy to find and inexpensive to purchase. These do make wonderful treats for the wedding reception, but for those brides and grooms who want to make a statement, a custom candy mold guarantees a lot of smiles.

There are companies who make custom candy molds that range in price from about $75 to $400. It is also possible to use the do-it-yourself method and make a custom mold from food-grade silicone. Chocolate is then poured and molded, either by a professional candy maker or by someone at home. Making custom chocolate is as easy as melting the chocolate, filling the mold and carefully removing the finished piece once it’s cooled. If one breaks, it can be melted and re-molded until it’s perfect.

Wedding Chocolates Design Choices

The design choice for the bride and groom is limited only by the imagination. Some ideas may include molds based upon:

The chocolate treats can be left as is or decorated with contrasting chocolate or bright candy accents, and the finished product can be boxed or slipped into cellophane bags and tied with ribbons that compliment the wedding reception décor.

The Chocolate Party Pre-Wedding Event

If employing a professional candy maker isn’t within the budget, a chocolate party is a fun alternative. Anyone can make chocolates, even children with adult supervision. Throwing a candy-making chocolate party makes a great pre-wedding event, and everyone who participates will take pride in finding their work adorning the wedding reception tables.

A chocolate party can provide a joyful and strong bonding experience for families and members of the wedding party. It’s an especially great way to break the ice and get to know new extended relatives.

A Custom Chocolate Gift Lives in the Memory Forever

Molds can be made to celebrate any aspect of the bride and groom’s lives, and they will always know that no other wedding on earth shares that one special wedding day gift.

When wedding guests later relate their experience to others, it will surely include comments about the beautiful bride, the handsome groom and the amazing, unique chocolate that awaited them at the reception.
