    Definitely interested in a chocolate showpiece workshop. Very cool work that Rob has done.

    Chocolate cards

    curls replied to a topic in Pastry & Baking

    Can you get parve white chocolate? Then you can use the white chocolate to decorate the dark chocolate card.

    Your version of an almond joy looks delicious. Might have to make that recipe myself.

    I have one and it works well. We use it for the carbonated water and do no not use their syrups (even their regular syrups use artificial sweeteners, at least when we first purchased the unit). It easier than constantly bringing cases of bottled water into the house. Williams-Sonoma carries some soda syrups from the Sonoma Syrup Company that work well with the carbonated water.

    Sorry, didn't realize the complications involved. My original thought was that we might get a day at Albert Uster, like we had in 2009 and that they could show us how to do pulled sugar work. Little did I know that Lisa Shock (love her avatar picture) might be attending and that she could do a demo . That would be fabulous!

    Perhaps we could learn how to do some pulled sugar work?

    Picked some lovely Red Haven peaches this weekend and made a batch of peach jam from one of Christine Ferber's recipes. Have enough extra peaches that I may make some peach ice cream too.

    Jerry, thank you for blogging. What a powerful voice you have. Keep writing and enjoying life! Good luck with the duck, I am sure it will turn out great.

    I ordered from Amazon 21 April, got my shipping notice today! The books will be here soon!!!

    I am curious, since this is the best non-box cake recipe you have found so far, have you tried the "FINALLY!!!!!! That perfect homemade yellow cake" at Chef Talk? If so how do the two compare? Oli, I have been planning to bake the perfect homemade yellow cake from Chef Talk but have not baked it yet. Will definitely compare the two when I do. I have baked yellow cakes from the Cake Bible, Whimsical Bakehouse, Shirley Corriher, and Alton Brown. While they all have their merits, my current favorite is Sherry Yard's yellow cake.

    Kim, the cake and frosting recipe are from "Desserts by the Yard: From Brooklyn to Beverly Hills: Recipes from the Sweetest Life Ever" by Sherry Yard and Wolfgang Puck. Recipes for both start on page seven and you can see them using Amazon's "Look Inside" feature. The texture on the cake was great (best non-box yellow cake recipe I have found so far).

    Yellow cake, chocolate frosting and pistachio paste ganache filling. Cake and frosting recipe are from Sherry Yard. Pistachio paste ganache by Derrick (leftover from the eGullet Chocolate Conference). Delicious!

    Kerry, thank you for the recipe. Those tarts were delicious.

    I have finished my side trips and made it home safe and sound. Will sort through my photos in the next day or two and see if I can add to the photo documentary. I think can add to the photos of our Saturday night dinner extravaganza. Kerry, thank you for organizing this event! It was great seeing everyone that I met last year and meeting so many wonderful new people too! I learned something everyday and had a great time. I will echo dhardy123's comment that it was amazing that tabling the ganache made such a difference in flavor. I would not have believed it if I had not had the chance to taste the difference.

    Another single for Casa Mia. Thanks for arranging the chocolate pick up PlusOne.

    Also at the Hilton and checking in Thursday evening. Riding with RobertM Friday but will have a car and can help out with carpooling Saturday and Sunday.

    Sounds good to me too.

    Erika, I really like the idea of a swap/market. Will bring the moulds that I am not using. Hope that others participate and that I can pick up some transfer sheets!

    Selmi enrobing and panning are good. I would also be interested in learning how to paint/decorate and fill large 3 dimensional molds. If Brian can demo confectionery work too, I am interested in learning how to make sponge toffee or those peanut filled candies (where there are layers of peanut butter & candy).

    No objections from me, sounds delicious!
