I am trying a two piece chocolate bunny mold for the first time and need some
advice on how to put the piece together to minimize the seam.

We haven't done it before. This is the first time we have used mold where you take the two sides out of the mold and than place them together.

I am not sure which mold you have. I have one that has a front side and a back side of a squirrel, for ex. I make them hollow and demold. What I do is use my hairdryer to heat up an area on my stainless steel table. I place the two halves on the warm area and move them around a bit. Then I "glue" them together by just lining up and holding closed for a short time. Mine come out really well...This is the only picture I have.

In pic 1 the ears are not filled with chocolate. Does your ,uhmm , vibrator get the chocolate into the ears? I love the human spinning machine-I do that too with a double mold I have. Turn it around up and down, this way and that!!! Oish! Only chocolatiers of our status can really identify with all the odd things we do!! Imagine that in all different countries there are human spinning machines doing their thing!

Lana,Those are very cute!I have a bunch of the clips that hold double molds together - but I often find that the rubber bands work just as well and are a whole lot easier to get on.

they are adorable! You have done an excellent job using chocolate's natural colors to decorate-I really like them! Kids must also go crazy for them! The "cow" bunny is my fav!
