THE “LABEL ROUGE” CHICKEN – Version 2.0 of the traditional chocolate Easter egg mold
For Easter, the chocolate tradition is reinventing itself to surprise and leave a lasting impression. In this video, chef Guillaume Mabilleau, Meilleur Ouvrier de France, invites us to discover a modern interpretation of the classic Easter egg: a chocolate chick molded in one piece.
Rather than working with a traditional egg shape, this creation plays on an original shape—a chicken—which offers a more contemporary aesthetic while remaining rooted in the festive spirit of Easter. The demonstration highlights the effectiveness of a silicone mold specially designed for chocolate, which allows for the creation of a unique piece with no visible seams and a remarkable level of detail.
The molding process shown in the video illustrates several key advantages:
- Clean and precise demolding, thanks to the flexibility of food-grade silicone, even on complex shapes.
- Faithful detail that enhances the final result and gives the piece relief.
- A technique suited to professionals who want to produce refined pieces that are visually consistent from one batch to the next.
This type of creation clearly shows how well-designed tools—such as specialized silicone molds—can reinvent traditional shapes to offer Easter desserts that are out of the ordinary, while maintaining controlled and efficient production.
