Chocolate Decorations

Directions

1. 1
   You can find rubber combs (plastic and metal combs don't bend so I don't use them) in the rubber section of a home improvement store.
2. 2
   Tape together some finely cut cake film with adhesive tape as shown in the photo, melt the chocolate, and run the comb through it.
3. 3
   To make a tornado: I wrap the tape around a rolling pin and stock it in the freezer to speed up the process.
4. 4
   To make a wave: I use pens, and secure the film with adhesive tape, and stick it the freezer.
5. 5
   To make chocolate leaves: Rinse ivy or rose leaves, blot dry, and use the back side of the leaves.
6. 6
   Thickly coat the leaves with the melted chocolate and place in the freezer.
7. 7
   Pull the stems of the leaves off using a pair of tweezers, once the chocolate hardens.
8. 8
   I used my finger to make swirls in the photo in Step 4.
9. 9
   Make cornets, place the melted chocolate inside, fold the top, and cut off the tip.
10. 10
    Draw whatever pictures you like onto parchment paper.
11. 11
    I drew some wings shown in the background of the photo, but hearts are also cute.
12. 12
    Store in a plastic container.
13. 13
    Spread them onto parchment paper, and store in the freezer.
