Tomorrow diet! I swear!

If you would like them with color and with more varied tastes like smarties more pronounced, you can melt them into small pieces in chocolate, or as I did, simply insert them into the mold whole or in a half (It depends on the size of the molds).

Comfortable the molds silicone.

Plastic chocolate

Plastic chocolate cake decorating

Hola! today’s post is a reflection of cake yesterday which unfortunately is finished .. ahhah …

So I opted for decoration of chocolate roses .. not perfect but came very slowly we can improve. One thing is certain and came good: chocolate plastic.

It ‘s great to see how the chocolate depending on how it is treated chemically transformed, it will harden in the fridge, in the freezer becomes malleable, with honey and water becomes a paste etc. …

I documented and I have drawn to a  conclusion, here is the recipe for a mixture of plastic chocolate:

  4. At this point, with a latex glove to add some more icing sugar and work. The mixture should be a little sticky.
  5. Let it rest in the refrigerator a half hour and you will see that it cools it will harden and become a dough ready to be processed.

I’m super amused and fascinated to work this dough, decorating is beautiful!
