Disclosure: Wholeport sent me an Alphabet Chocolate Mold for review. However, all opinions expressed in this post are 100% mine.
I’m always looking for new fun (and easy) ideas for decorating cakes and cupcakes, so when Wholeport asked if I’d like to review one of their products and do a giveaway, I thought it would be fun!
I chose to review the 28 Hole Letters Silicone Chocolate mold. As soon as I saw this mold, I thought it would make the cutest “blocks” for baby shower cupcakes…. or even a cake!
And guess what? I was right! The first thing I did was make B, A, B,and Y blocks to do “baby blocks” on a tiny 6″ round cake.
I used white almond bark with pink oil coloring (you can’t use regular gel colors for chocolate or almond bark!) and mixed it up. I put the chocolate in a piping bag and piped the melted chocolate into the silicone mold.
After bumping it on the counter a few times to try and dislodge any bubbles, I stuck the whole thing in the freezer and let it get really good and hard/cold (about 15-20 minutes). Once it was set and cold, the cubes of chocolate popped out very easily!
After making the cake, the blocks seemed almost too small and would certainly be for a larger cake, so I decided to give the cupcake idea a try and personally, I think the cupcake toppers idea is best… the blocks are the perfect size for cupcake toppers!
You could use them for a baby shower, or even for a bridal shower doing blocks with hearts or the initials of the bride and groom. They would also be great to do monogram toppers for wedding cupcakes.
The mold was easy to use and the chocolate came out very clean. My biggest frustration was getting the chocolate to settle into all the tiny crevices and not having air pockets on the blocks.

How stinking cute is that? I love cookie molds – wonder how these would work for little tiny shortbread bites? Thanks for sharing the oil coloring tip – I didn’t know that gel colors wouldn’t work with chocolate. Love the way you used these. I’d love to try out this mold.
These blocks are adorable. Sometimes you need just a little something on top of cupcakes are on a small cake and these fit the bill.
Thanks for sharing and the contest.
My thoughts exactly!
Those are so cute! I would love to win this 🙂

These look awesome, I would spell BABY SHOWER on a cake with these! And since the kids just love chocolate it would be nice to just have a few laying around for after dinner : 0 THANKS!
I cross all that can be crossed and hope to win that awsome mould.
Oh those are precious! They have so many adorable products, I don’t know how in the world to pick any favorites. The Winnie Ice Cube Tray Mold Silicone Cake Mold Baking Mold is really cute, and the rice molds are adorable! I really like the heart shaped pizza pie pans too… I could easily spend a LOT of money on that site if I had the extra spending money right now! lol
First, I want to say THANK YOU in big letters for having a route in the giveaway for those of us who choose NOT to belong to Facebook. I won’t go into my tirade here of why I choose not to use this social media, even all the guys who work at my computer business I use to handle any computer problems refuse to have Facebook – that should tell the world something when the pros won’t touch it. Just this week millions of Facebook users had their passwords compromised by overseas hackers. My biggest beef is all the major corporations using this site which seems bizarre to me. Why does a multi-million dollar corporation need to have someone “like” them on Facebook to run a sweepstakes. This wouldn’t be too bad but what they’ve done is exclude ALL others not subscribed to the site. There, I’ve said my piece. Now to the important things in life……cake decorating! I like these blocks and how easy it is to make the letters. What I like is one product can be used for multiple types of events just by changing the colors and letters.
M favorite would have to be the life tree shaped soap mold,it’s lovely
Keep those articles coming, they are really informative
This is awesome! It would be useful for many things.
Those are so cool! I think I would use them for Christmas somehow. They are very cute. I would even try non chocolate food in the mold I think 🙂 I would love to win.
Holy cow that mold is awesome. I can envision many uses for that Block Mold. Awesome giveaway.
