It tends to happen mostly in the cavities closer to the middle of the moulds. when they are washed and cleaned, they appear shiny and clean with no damage, but the chocolate stills turns out with blemishes/bloom, so i am completely bewildered as to how to clean them. generally, the cavities around the centre area (and not around the edges) tend to produce the most blemishes. i have posted links to the pictures of the chocolate with blemishes, and the moulds with the spots that appear where the blemishes form. this is so frustrating, i really hope someone can help please. ps - how do i post images on here? ive tried using the add image command in the tool bar, but it never shows the pictures -
