PLANNING: eGullet Chocolate and Confectionery Workshop 2019
RobertM replied to a topic in Pastry & Baking
We typically bring plenty for the group. It’s an opportunity to try new things people have been working on, share ideas, and to meet and mingle, meeting new friends and spending time with others. Try and bring enough for everyone to try. It’s purely social and a wonderful evening. Take a look at the previous years “reports” for a good idea of the kinds of things that have happened.... I recall Tikidoc stole the evening a few times but, one of the most memorable was that awesome dragon chocolate..... -

Not just Milk Solids, but solids in general will help increase stand up quality. You could increase your corn syrup (which to me looks low)

We had our annual Valentines Chocolate party last night. The white chocolate course was white chocolate ganache, raspberry pate de fruit, Callebaut crispearls and raspberries with a clear glaze. second course was a milk milk chocolate tropical cake, with a passion fruit & orange filling and a passion fruit mascarpone icing (we weren’t quick enough for a photo without a piece missing.....sorry) Third course I called Midnight Passion. A Paul Young brownie, with salted caramel, caramel-peanut mousse, caramelized peanuts and a dash of whipped cream -

Tonight’s dessert - Carrot Cake with a piped cream cheese frosting. I put the toasted pecans in the Thermomix for about 15 seconds and mixed the resulting paste in with the frosting. Same great flavor, just a slight smoother non-crunchy texture -
