  1. Thanks Tedwin, but it doesn’t look like croissant dough. It’s more like a brioche.
  2. As I set aside the day’s events and all that’s going on in the world, I go to my happy place which is all things baking and chocolate. I was thinking of a pastry I saw on Instagram once but didn’t get its name. I tried googling it but was unable to find what I was looking for, so I was hoping someone here might know what it was. 🙃 -it’s a yeasted and likely enriched dough -it is shaped into a flat round disc, usually about 6” in diameter -in that disc there are 5 or 6 indentations made, and I *think* that sugar cubes are inserted into the divots that later melt, but it could also be pastry cream Any idea what this is called? If someone identifies it, I’ll google a recipe and then stress eat it. 😛 Stay safe, everyone!
  3. Selling some books on cake decorating as I’m more into chocolate these days. All of the books are in brand new condition (it’s almost as if I took them out of the box, put them on the shelf, and they remained untouched for a few years 😂). Prices are lower than Amazon, but feel free to make an offer. I’d prefer to sell locally (Bay Area) so there’s no shipping, but I can also ship via book post. Message me for details. 1- $28 2- $7 3- $7 4- $10 5- $40 6- $5 7- $18 8- $5 9- $10 10- $6 11- $37 12- $18 13- $25 14- $6 15- $13 16- $30 17- $18 18- $15 19- $16 20- $150 21- $5

  9. Thanks for the info. Sounds pretty cool, would love to see a pic of glowing candies. 🙂
  10. She does use some bright colors - I’ll have to look at them next time I’m there. How does the riboflavin powder work?
  11. I’d like to make some chocolate-inspired-by-art for a friend who uses a lot of neon paints in his artwork. Are neon cocoa butter colors available? (I’m thinking yellow, pink, orange, green, blue, purple, just like highlighters we used in school). If not, is it possible to make them by mixing colors, and if so, how?
  12. Not sure, but likely not before your event. 😌 I know how she feels. 😂
  13. Looking at the dainty positioning of the arms/paws, I’d say female. But if the bunny is speaking male to you, go with that (it is rather large and muscular). 💪 But you’re right - a jacket is going to be way more complex than a shawl. Gosh I wish I was there to assist - I’d whip up a biker jacket for the little guy 😁).
  14. Taken out of context, this sounds bad. Very bad. 😅 I know this is supposed to be made as a whole, but would you have better luck molding the 2 halves separately (layer by layer) and then attaching them together? I second (or 5th or 6th) the idea of making some lightly colored modeling chocolate and giving it a lovely shawl. My fave though, is the flocking idea. But if you are out of time, and don’t want to take the bunny to the hospital with you, perhaps you could snag a bit of dry ice from there and create your own “freezer” at home with a large Tupperware container. Then all’s left to do is to suffocate the bunny in there and then spray away. 😜
  15. Hahaha... do u want me to change it? Wait, I don’t even know if it’s possible to edit the title... 😜
  16. Looks like it might be this one: http://www.chocolat-chocolat.com/home/chocolate-molds/chocolate-molds-easter/p17637715.html
  17. Update: tried a fraction of the greweling recipe and as @minas6907 said, they turned out nice and chewy. The only issue I ran into was in depositing the gelatin mixture into the molds - it firmed up pretty quickly so it was gooey, messy, and I ended up with quite a few bears missing parts (they were the first to be eaten so didn’t suffer). 😉
  18. Thanks @Tri2Cook - I haven’t come across any extract-only flavorings, but rather mostly sugary syrups. Thanks @minas6907 - I’ll let you know when I do the cola gummies. I’ve got silicone molds, no starch impressions here - too messy!
  19. Using this thread as a steppings stone, I’d also like to ask if anyone has any experience with cola flavored gummy bears. Do people use straight up Coca Cola, or do they use concentrated flavor syrups? If it’s the latter, which brand do you use and how does it change the recipe since it’s so sweet already? (Btw, when I was looking for cola syrups, I found that a lot of people make their own with ingredients that I never thought would be in cola. Interesting, but not something that I’d want to take on myself)
  20. Thanks for sharing your experiences & opinions. I agree @minas6907 that the chefsteps recipe seems overly complex - I mean a sour vide for gummies?!! 😜 But it seems that they’re kind of known for using specialty tools like vacuum machines and specialty ingredients for most of their recipes. Thanks for the C & C book tip - I just checked it and maybe I’ll try that first. 👍 As an aside - has anyone used powdered gelatin in lieu of sheets? If so what’s the conversion you used? (Online it says 1TBSP powdered = 3 sheets)
  21. Thanks, I went thru the comments and though some people say it turned out, I was asking more because the amount of gelatin seems so high. (when I use even 1/4 of this amount I can taste the gelatin flavor).
  22. I’m hankering for gummy bears and came across this Chefsteps recipe: https://www.chefsteps.com/activities/gummy-bears Is it just me, or does 70g of gelatin (SEVENTY!!!) seem kind of high? It calls for sheet gelatin, so I imagine that’s about ~30-40 sheets? The rest of the ingredients total to about 650g. Has anyone made this with success? I don’t want to use all that gelatin if I’ll be getting rubber bullets instead of gummy bears at the end. 😉
  23. Hmm good point about thinning it down, thx! I’d hate to have to add more sugar since ice creams are usually too sweet for me.
  24. Turned into dark chocolate ice cream?? I made some for turkey day but made too many. They are super rich, and contain cream, milk, eggs...so they’re kind of like an anglaise but baked instead of cooked... just wondering if they can be churned successfully?
