Hi all,

My wife works for a very large, international company, and I came
up with a GREAT brown-nosing idea for her to give away chocolate
goodies around Xmas this year.

My idea is to make small (1-2" wide) replicas of the company's logo.
(Hint: it looks like a letter of the alphabet, and it's a metallic
yellow color!)

I was hoping to get in touch with someone who has experience making
their own plastic chocolate molds. I would imagine creating either a
physical model, or a 3d one in something like Alias Maya, and finding
someone with the knowledge/equipment to make a plastic mold (or 3)
that would pop out at least a few candies at a time.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I can't pay much, if
anything, but would love to try to do this, as a project!

I don't know how you would go about doing this yourself, but there are
plenty of companies out there that make custom molds. Tomric is one, also
Chocklit (sp?) Molds in Rhode Island. You could use edible gold leaf for a
high-end gold effect, or colored white chocolate or even coating (candy
melts, or summer coating) for a cheaper solution.
