Which size are you thinking?

He will send what people want to purchase - typically we use some of it during the workshop.

Anyone after anything from Melangers.com - Bhavani can't come this year but will send whatever is needed.

My current delivery estimate is yesterday!

I'd probably do two small experiments - one with a base of apricot or pear - the other with just juice and see if it has enough pectin of it's own to set

Interesting the microwaving/heating the vessel. I recall the iCreami had an issue with stuff staying on the outside of the vessel (Pacojet doesn't suffer from that) - is this something being discussed for the iCreami? I always did spin one - then ran around the outside with my big old bone handled knife before the second spin.

All about stabilizers by our own @paulraphael

And the taste?

For sure - I'll bring a few along.

Good idea - this is when you are getting ready to pipe and just need a few degrees cooler? Bowl scraper also useful to get those last bits out of a piping bag.

Adding pasteurized yolks should be fine (risk of salmonella gone) - just watch the water activity - that's the important thing.

Don't see why it wouldn't be unless she's lying about the temperature on her thermometer. Not quite sure why you would waste a piping bag though when you have a marble slab in front of you. I'd just cool it over cold water for that small amount myself. I find with pure cocoa butter like that that you don't really need to do the cool then reheat thing - just cool it until it starts to thicken and it will be in temper.

Just pricing out cocoa butter from my supplier so I don't have the same issue I had last year! Looks like if I get on it now - I can get the brand I wanted for last year for the equivalent of around $10 US a pound. So if folks can tell me how much they think they might want - I'll get that ordered and packaged up.

What went wrong? Did spheres simply not form? If you think that it wasn't cold enough - does the school have a blast chiller? If you are at Niagara College - I know they have one.

Pretty sure they do and probably add a layer of flavour that makes it worthwhile to caramelize them.

Sounds quite good sans coffee.

Dare to dream!

Renee from Chocolat-Chocolat will be arriving Thursday evening - if you want to order molds she will bring if there is enough room in the car.
