Zusammenfassung:In the manufacture of a multi-coloured comestible product, e.g. a chocolate bar or a chocolate coating for a cake, an out of proportion image is formed on a planar carrier of food grade plastic material, the image being formed by screen printing using an edible ink. The carrier and the image are then moulded, e.g. by a vacuum forming means, to create a relief mould in which the out of proportion image is regularised to a true image of a design to be applied to a comestible. After forming the relief mould may be filled with chocolate or other filling as required. The coated comestible may then be removed from the relief mould immediately thereafter or when required for subsequent packaging and distribution. Alternatively, the relief moulds may be stored for some time before being filled with chocolate or other filling. In either case the demoulded product is provided with a true to life image thereon. The edible inks used may include a mixture of fondant icing sugar, Polysorbate 60, glycerine, lecithin and water.
