Chocolate Squares

Part of my project. Milk Chocolate Squares and Marble Squares, another try for new mold in the collection (can I call it collection, I suppose so, cos they're few others untested mold ... hahaha).
Do you like the marble ones or the solid choc? Vote :P

A dozen Choc Squares, 1/2 solid, 1/2 marble in a love box. Each squares approx 10g.

Blue Roses & Mini Boxes with Ribbon

Last week, I tried new color in the stock. Quite challenging, they turned out to be not so okay. Coloring in blue really need some more practices. I don't know, maybe I should try Wilton food coloring. It was not so smooth compared to orange color.

Why blue? I was preparing for my best friend's wedding on Saturday. Her's was blue in theme. The roses supposed to be on the 'dulang hantaran'. But I changed my mind. What?


But, I am satisfied with the mini chocolate box with ribbon. I made two boxes and each with three pieces bite size choc. Aren't they cute? This time around, I had a little bit more patient and 'fridging' them a little bit longer and the result - just nice hmmm.

Box size: Approx 2.5" x 2.5" x 1" deep. Bite size: 1" dia
Perfect as little gift.

Heart of Roses

Experimenting with chocolate is not only tempting but also enjoyable as well. Even the aroma of chocolate makes you feel good too .. at least to me :) So, with the positive comment, I was successfully secured my first order for the chocolate as gift for an engagement.

The theme was orange. It was the engagement of my colleague, CONGRATULATIONS. My first order successfully done as Heart of Roses.


Three boxes of three little orange roses for Shah from Siska.

Thank you, Siska for being my first customer :)


My handwritten needs practice and more practices though. On the engagement day :

The result:

Black Rose and Orange Roses with filling

Chocolate At Lunch

Crepe with Chicken Mushroom and Salad

Another Sunday! Been thinking about today's lunch when I woke up in the morning... A crepe filled with mushroom is the meal for today. How I wanna add taste of chocolate into this recipe? A chocolate drizzled on top to go with ....

Chocolate Drizzled on top

So, I decided to go with chocolate batter as well. The result:

A pair of Crepe

Wanna try? A simple recipe.

Crepe with Chicken Mushroom and Salad

Batter for Crepe
3 eggs
5 tbs unsalted butter (melted)
2 cups of milk
1 3/4 cup flour
A pinch of salt

Beat eggs and milk and pour in the melted butter. Mix well.
Sift flour and salt, if you use salted butter, no need to put in salt, otherwise the taste won't be good! Mix flour into the egg mixture. Mix until smooth.

For Chocolate Crepe, just add in melted chocolate approx 1/2 tbs to half of the batter.

Use non-stick skillet and make a thin layer, use medium heat. Done crepe.

Filling
400g Chicken Breast (skinned)
100g White button mushroom
3 tbs Butter
2 tbs cooking oil
Garlic
1/2 tbs flour
2 tbs milk

Heat oil and butter, stir in garlic. Then, stir in flour. Stir for about 5-10 second, pour in milk, mushroom and chicken. Done filling.

Eat the way you wanted!

The First Attempt

White Choc

After my successful course last Sunday, and after rushing here and there to get my tools and ingredients (It was long holiday, remember! for Chinese New Year and all bakery shops close shop until Thursday) I managed to get the things ready for making my first attempt at home. Making chocolate.

Drizzling chocolate

I am quite nervous, but at the same confident that I can make this. I got the tools, I got the recipe. One thing though, I did change the mixture ratio just to test the outcome.

Result

The outcome, for its taste turn out to be just fine. So, it love shape decorated with alphabet. Need to practice my handwritten, though ... hahaha.
