Jessica – The silicone molds are really nice because you just *carefully* invert them (push the mold inside out gently) and the bombe will pop out. Just watch that it doesn’t fly out (some of mine have been near disasters, they pop out so fast). Don’t line with plastic, it will make it look worse than if you just use the silicone bombe molds.

I recently discovered your blog and it is absolutely amazing! I know this is quite a time ago, but I just had a question to ask concerning the bombes. Were they easy to slide out of the molds or did you have to do anything special to them? Like I know most people line molds with cling wrap for easy removal later or if there were a removable bottom, etc so I was wondering how you were able to remove the chocolates from the mold or the silicone made it that easy to remove? Love your blog!

Wow, you really met this challenge in a big way. I’m loving what you did with the chocolate short dough
base for the bombes, too. I’ll have to give that a try. Thank you for sharing that detail as well as the recipe.

Your challenge dessert looks absolutely yummy. Thanks for the vanilla bean tip. I will definitely have to look into that very soon!
