Jorge,
It looks like you used the DOW Scholastic J silicone. I'm wondering what
the health hazards are using this material or has it been deemed food grade?
We had a discussion about this a couple of years ago as Marshal Burns
pointed out and unless something has changed I think that the NON-food grade
silicones out-gas for some time after final cure. It seems to me that this
would cause your chocolate to taste a bit like silicone and possibly be bad
for you.
Just some thoughts on the cautious side!
Karl

Dear List,
Recently I experimented making chocolates with organic shapes using
the
FreeForm modeling system. I printed a thermojet master from the STL
file,
made a silicone production mold out of it and casted the chocolate
inside.
In the future I plan to make a thermoform mold instead of the
silicone. You
can see the pictures of the process at:

Dan,
A little over a year ago, there was an extensive debate on the
RP-ML
about fabbing chocolate sculputes and other edible applications. See
http://www.ennex.com/fabbers/RP-ML/food.sht for a collection of the
messages
on this subject.
