I was thinking about that, but that would mean new gadgets. I love'em, but I don't have any space for a big machine at the moment.

I'm just going to spray one little petit gateaux this time, so I don't think I need to worry that much about clogging. It's a test to see if it works with the mousse from the molds I've made. One part is just 1 cm thick, I'm thinking that it might melt a bit if it's too hot. But we'll see. Just cooked up a batch of neutral glaze and got the new hvlp gun with the mail today. Test starts tomorrow.

Truth be told, I plan to buy a new gun anyway. That way I can have one for cb and one for things with water in it. It's only ~30 CAD. That's a good suggestion, but it won't work with this little piece. You'll know why, if you see it when I'm done. I'll post a picture in some thread at least. Thanks Teo! Do you know how hot it needs to be? I've heard 60°, but maybe you can go lower after you've heated it.

Haha. That is true. But let's wait and see if anyone have some experience with this.

I've earlier sprayed cocoa butter mixed with white chocolate and some color, to get that velvety appearance on a frozen mouse petit gateaux. However, what I'm working on now needs to be sprayed with a "neutral glaze", since it wouldn't work with pouring the glaze over it - like it would with a regular cake or something. Have anyone done this earlier? I'm not sure which kind of tools to use. I have my compressor and and a HVLP gun, but that's only 0.5mm. Not sure if that would be enough or if I should aim for something with a bit wider nozzle. I know that it would work to spray this with one of those Bosch paint sprayers etc, but I'd rather not buy more big things. Any suggestions?

Looking good! I remember seeing some picture from him, where it looks like a weed leaf.

Is that something from a hospital?

Hehe. It's actually getting better here. But the humidity is still a bit too much. At the moment, I'm creating new molds for a three piece petit gateaux with two inserts. Waiting for these to set.

That's just sales talk I guess, I was laughing for myself during the presentation when they said that. But maybe this price point is expensive in some kind of view. I would've expected it to be 20 EUR or more per kg when they defined it as expensive. But maybe they just compare it to the budget priced products that they sell? You can buy it here - https://www.bouwhuis.com/callebaut-chocolade-callets-ruby-10-kg - a little bit more than 10 EUR per kg, but not by much.

It's not astronomical at all. You can get it for around 10 EUR per kilo. Pretty cheap if you ask me?

Well, it's kind of hard when there's no reference I guess? I told the Callebaut rep that many people will probably see it as "their competitors products with fruit flavor". But in the end it's not like the big pile of consumers know about Valrhona's inspiration. I think it's a really tough thing for marketing, but you can easily see that the color is one of those things they're pushing for. I got a pink bottle for water, I got a pink apron and a pink bowl (to prepare my future ruby in I guess). I mean, you do actually see before you taste - so it's nothing weird. I would happily buy some Ruby to play around with if it were available in the regular 2,5 KG bags - but they're pushing for 10 KG packages - and that would last me forever.

I got to try ruby today. I kind of liked it, I don't have any amazing taste whatever they're called, but it was nice. Felt a bit like a sour white chocolate. Tried it in a few different ways, a bonbon with caramel and strawberry compote, a kind of energy drink and panned almonds. Really need to try it a lot more before I can make up my mind. In the end, I guess it's more of a chocolate than white chocolate. RB1 have some cocoa mass in it at least, even if it's only 4.5 percent.

My Cacao Barry moulds are white, but not solid? I can easily see colors and patterns if I have a light source behind it.

Wow, they got a new, kind of modern, website I guess? Haven't seen that.

That’s CW. Haasnoot design.

I'm using a countertop from Dekton and I think it's amazing. Kind of expensive though. I'm going to buy some more of that material and glue it to a table on wheels so I can move it around in my little kitchen. Prior to getting my new kitchen, I had a 100 cm x 100 cm x 1 cm marble piece that I placed on my kitchen countertop.

Was looking for something and read some more about inspiration, and saw this; Products available in September 2018, currently on pre-order.

That's fair! We all have different mindsets.

Haha, that's fantastic.

Yes. That's exactly what I'm saying. I'm not sure silly is a word that would offend someone, that's not the intent (English is not my native tongue), but in my mind I would _always_ help someone with anything, if I could. But, to each their own.

That's just silly. But some people are.

You really should pay attention to the negatives. I only ever read the negatives to see what kind of negative reactions there are. Most of them are just silly complaints, but that issue with the warranty raises a red flag.

That sounds very strange indeed, and I wouldn't call her a good sales rep either. I get a bit frustrated when people/companies act like this. I hope I get famous one day, just to be able to blow them of when they want something from me, when they didn't even talk to me earlier. Well, not really. But you understand what I mean.

What about this one? https://pavonitalia.com/professional/en/pc21-praline-moulds-innovation-pc21-99482.html Pretty tall, should be able to fill in.

I asked the only local Valrhona supplier I know off, and they don't know when these will be available. I'm gonna get a bag of the Yuzu version, when they're available. Love me some citrus fruits.
