Foregoing Vacation to Post |
so I'm proud of myself and these need their own thread. I've never made candy with chocolate before besides "candy melts" which don't count since they're mostly flavored wax. Today in class I tempered a huge amount of chocolate and my first task were bonbons, I used a mold, orange flavored ganache (kind of, it's what Chef called it but not equal parts), and colored cocoa butter plus a little white chocolate.
Chef said they were something he "would put his name on" meaning they were the quality he would serve/sell  . Pretty good for a first try!  |

Ooh, they do look beautiful.
Alas, I'm not a fan of fruit-chocolate mixes. I prefer both in their unadulterated form. |

We also made hand rolled truffles, same thing but minus the orange and they were done by hand meaning no fancy exterior or perfect shape. But OMG yum. I'm not a fruit fan in any form especially not with my chocolate. But I made them because I wanted to add color and Chef said it was misleading to your guest to have color and no flavor to match the color. Yeah yeah... |

I love orange and chocolate! And love the marbles - they look yummy. What kindof choc are you using. Around here, LINDT choc reigns supreme!

Just look at my signature to know what I think of chocolate. It's one of the basic food groups isn't it?

I'm not sure about the brand of chocolate but we do use dark couverture chocolate, meaning there's over 31% cocoa butter so it has a more fluid consistency when melted so it's easy to do confectionery work. SAS - it is one of the basic food groups  Chef said if I wanted more practice that I could do free labor and work in L'Ecole, the restaurant at the school. It's one of our last classes at the school, the bake shop is in the morning so he said I could come in any day 7am-2pm and play with chocolate that I don't have to buy . but I don't get to take much of it home either hehe |

I can just imagine you raiding MS's house to get at her chocolates. They are lovely! How about some raspberry/chocolate marbles?
