It takes time and practice to gain the hand skills for casting molds. Using a variety of types of chocolate with different setting points and different tempering methods can be a challenge. It can also be difficult to judge and accommodate important considerations like room temperature and humidity.

Once molds have been colored using the techniques and the cocoa butter has set, the molds are ready to be cast, filled, capped, and finally un-molded.
