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.
