Q Chocolate

Wednesday, april 23rd 2008

Today was finally the long waited test for the second module. The idea was to create 24 pralines with a hollow form and filled with pralinee, mould a hollow form of choice, make an egg and dip 24 pralines and finish them.

I have chosen to make dark chocolate pralines as I like them most. The other pralines where made in milk chocolate and finished with some letters, some leaves, a chocolate coffeebean and some were spritsed. The hollow form was colored with white chocolate and the eyes with dark chocolate and moulded with milk chocolate. The only thing I am waiting for now is the final result and the points ofcourse.

Now there is a week break and then I go on with almondpaste and chocolate. Stay tuned for more later.

The module of chocolate is this years course is coming to an end. The last thing about chocolate still has to be said. Today I focused on one thing and that is creating a huge egg with colours. Easter might be gone for some time and wiped from our memory, I still could make eggs.

The idea is to use coloured chocolate. Orange chocolate with orange taste, green chocolate with lemon taste, pink with strawberry taste. They come in all different possible tastes. Although that I do not really became a fan of this chocolate it is amazing how good it tastes.

The egg that I created is big. It weights about 2.5 kilo’s and contains milk chocolate, decorated with orange and green psychedelic stripes on one side and white and dark chocolate dots on the other side (thanks to the group that created the other side). Once you have both half pieces, you can glue em togheter with chocolate.
Here is the picture :
