Step 2 Step 2 - You will need
to trim the mold and cut out the section that you would place
your foot into if it were a real shoe. I normally write on the mold for customers so there is no doubt which parts need to be removed. I trim about a good inch to 1 1/2 all the way around the mold. This allows you to clamp the bulldog clips it tighter. |

Step 3 - Melt your Coating
chocolate and pour into the mold. I kind of swirl it around to get
to
the edge of the mold, then pour it out leaving a thin shell in the mold. I put the mold in the frig JUST until it gets hard. Prop the mold upright...don't leave it in there to long or the really thin shell will crack. Just until it's setup. Then you do the pouring process 2 more times, for a total of three layers. You don't need to be quite as careful with the refrigeration time on the other two layers. Once it starts getting thicker, it really shouldn't crack. The heel part will be fully filled in by the time you do three layers of chocolate. |

Step 4 - Remove the mold from the
fully setup shoe. You will have some rough edges.

Step 5 - Trim down the seams with
an exacto knife. I like using the cotton
chocolate gloves (on the site). you don't get any finger prints on the chocolate when using these. |

Step 6 - Add whatever your imagination
comes up with.
I love to use the Jem bow makers and pearl molds. The # 4 pearls are nice and delicate, perfect for outlining the edges of the shoe. |

This is another gorgeous design,
I think this one looks like a bridal shoe.
. Again, I used the Jem bow cutters 43-7210 . If you don't have them, they are SO much fun to use. I will try to do a tutorial on those for the next post. I also used the # 4 pearl mold. . I also used a section of the floral lace press on the shoes at left. It really makes for a very stable shoe to add the base mold. You can fill it with truffles and place on the tables OR wrap with pretty cellophane for a beautiful gift or give away at a bridal show.

(Life Size) CHOCOLATE HIGH HEEL SHOE WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING: A high heel shoe mold 8 oz. of “tempered” chocolate Real/Pure Chocolate paste - Or simply used tempered Coating chocolate! which does not need tempered and ingredients have been added so that it does not need tempered. Rolling pin Plastic wrap Scissors Inner sole pattern Bulldog clips for mold Cotton balls Exacto knife or pizza cutter Small paint brush Candy Glove Candy coloring (optional) Prepare your new mold:
Pouring the mold:
Place the empty half of the mold over it making sure that the two halves are well aligned, using the little “nubs” on the molds to assist you. The proper alignment of the 2 parts of the mold are critical to the finished shoe. Now using the clips, begin fastening the mold together to prevent the chocolate from leaking out of the seams. You need to work quickly during this phase. Now “flip” the clipped mold over, onto the other side, to distribute the chocolate “evenly” within the cavity. Look the mold over and check for “air bubbles” (little holes within the inside of the mold where the chocolate may have not completely filled in) and if there are any, gently tap that area with the back of a spoon and the bubble(s) should disappear. Now rotate the mold in every direction to continue to evenly distribute the chocolate inside the mold. This process should last at least 5 minutes by the clock! This step should NOT be rushed. Taking time now, results in a beautifully molded shoe later. The shoe is now ready to rest for a while on your counter top. Stand the mold (with the clips in place) upright, as though it were a real shoe, making sure that it is level. If a clip or two prevents you from thinking the shoe is truly level, then prop something under it to make it level. The mold should remain at rest for approximately 20 minutes. If your kitchen is hot (over 70 degrees) 30 minutes is best. Now place the mold in your refrigerator for 20 minutes. NOT THE FREEZER! Also, make sure your mold is not touching anything already in the refrigerator or the cold from that item will transfer onto your shoe and leave a white stain on the chocolate. Time to de-mold:
Cleaning the shoe:
The Trim:
Coloring chocolate paste can be done by adding candy coloring to your paste. Then kneed it completely, so all the color has been worked throughout the paste for uniformity. Better to add a little at a time until you arrive to your chosen color. Add too much, too soon, and you’ll have a very dark result. Now, assuming you have the trim color paste you desire, roll out a piece with your rolling pin to a ribbon like thinness. With a ruler, measure 14" in length and one and one-half (1½) inches in width. Using a pizza cutter or Exacto knife, begin cutting your rolled out chocolate paste to the desired dimensions. Now find the middle (7" mark) of your ribbon of paste and place it onto the center of the rear of the shoe opening. Straddle the ribbon around the opening of your shoe so that half of it is tucked “into” the shoe and the other half remains on the outside, as trim. If you have done this correctly, both ends of the ribbon should meet on the front of the shoe. Cut off any excess. Now for the bow. Cut another piece of chocolate paste ribbon one and one-half (1½) inches wide by 6" long. Bring both ends to the middle allowing some space to lift the two loops of the ribbon up. Place a cotton ball in each loop to hold it up. Then “glue” the two (2) loops of the bow in the middle, with some tempered chocolate. Cut a 3" piece of ribbon paste one and one-half (1½) inches wide and fold the long sides in about 1/4". This becomes your center loop of the ribbon. Place this loop in the middle of the bow (between the other loops) and glue the back of the bow with more chocolate. For the inner sole (pattern provided), roll out more chocolate paste the color of the shoe. Using the pattern, cut out the form and slide it into the shoe. There should be no need to glue it in. However if you wish to anchor it, just add a little chocolate to the inside of the shoe (a small paint brush works well for this) and slip the inner sole over it. CONGRATULATIONS, YOU’RE DONE!!
