Sorry forgot to put that - apple pectin.

At the Conference/Workshop Curls asked if she could come over and try out the JKV using some of her molds for Easter, which she did yesterday. I think the results were wonderful, I had a great time with her and here are the results. We did have some colored cocoa butter issues on the bunnies - sad to say....

Thanks Bob, two weekends of chocolate making fun! That JKV does a great job with the chocolate, once you get the hang of it, it is so much easier to fill molds with the built in chocolate spout (vs. a ladle or spatula).

We also made a few more bunnies that look a lot happier than that blue bunny. Milk chocolate bunnies are filled with peanut butter, dark chocolate bunnies are filled with raspberry ganache, and hollow molds (pigs and flop earred bunnies) are filled with jelly bellies. It will be a chocolate extravaganza at the family Easter dinner.

Sweet bunnies! Can you say more about the JVK? Anything that makes filling molds less messy intrigues me...

Here is a video from JKV that shows you some of what this wonderful machine can do!

The graffiti bunnies...

This isn't really doing anything to help relieve my jealousy over being unable to attend.

Ditto for me.

And me. :-/

I think I have been rendered speechless. This is my favorite bunny mold, my first mold purchase and I just love it.

Same here. Even the JVK, not strictly part of the conference, has me in full-on machine lust. I feel like I did the first time I saw an enrober in person.

Next year is looking very good!

Donna! I love your graffiti bunnies! They look awesome!

[Prabha]

Donna and Robert, those bunnies are beauties! Wish I could have been there too. Robert, I'm going to have to trouble you for another session sometime!

[RuthWells]

Thanks for the link, Curls, that is slick!

[curls]

Yes indeed Ruth, RobertM has some fun stuff in his chocolate workshop.

Wish you could have joined us Prabha... maybe the bunnies would have come out better! Will have to try to get together with the DC area folks before the 2013 workshop in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

[Prabha]

Yes, I'd definitely be up for that.
