3-d molded chocolate help!!

[tracymes3]

I just made a chocolate mold of a high-heel shoe..placed it in the freezer, 2 hours later i took the mold off but my shoe did not stick together...What did I do wrong and how can I fix it?? ....When i poured the chocolate in the molds, it was a bit too runny to immediately put together so I let it sit out for about 30 minutes to slightly harden. Do you glue them together or do I have to make another one. Please help!

I don't do much chocolate but I remember my friend telling me when I was making 3D chess pieces to put a plate in the microwave for 10 SECONDS or so and put a chocolate on the plate & it melts it a little & then press it together. You may have to put each one on the plate. Maybe try that before you make another. I hope that helps.

Thank you for the help, I will try and see what happens...If all else fails I will have to resort to plan B.

Let me know how it turns out. At least you can eat it if it doesn't come out good. Good Luck!!

Well the chocolate shoe was too heavy to place on top of the cake, in fact the two halves did not hold together.....but i went with making a purse instead. I know what I did wrong and will know what to do on my next project involving a chocolate shoe...All the kids enjoyed eating the chocolate, so none has gone to waste. Thanks again for your help.

I will be posting new pictures of my projects on Sunday.

High heels and purses? Sounds like you're decorating something seriously cute and funky. The shoe was a really fabulous idea; I'm sorry it didn't work out on the first try. (There's always next time!)
