I colored them with cocoa butter as you are slightly able to see, but how to get powerful colors?

The colors are somehow "solid" (not translucent), maybe my colors are translucent?

Hello! When I try to make something like this (very clear in the colors), they end up very dark! I spray my mold first with pure tempered cocoa butter, then applying the colors and then filling with dark chocolate. Is it possible to get so clear colors with dark chocolate and how? Maybe applying white colored cocoa butter at last, and then filling with chocolate? Thanks! Mads

I would try to make chocolate branches like this, but how would you do it??

Is this cold vodka with ice cubes in? And tempered chocolate?

Thanks, I didn't saw that. I would like to hear for how long you think some bonbons would be able to last and how I am able to store them the best as possible (they would contain some gooseberry compote and cognac ganache). I read dark place, about 18-20°C in an airtight container and they should be able to last for about a month or so, is that right? And would the surface stay the same (shine and colors)? Thanks

When you create your own colored cocoa butter, do you mix the tempered, melted pure cocoa butter with color powder? And how do you temper the cocoa butter?

Thank you so much.

And what would be the best for the chocolate in my molds, to let the chocolate crystalize slowly in room temperature or to shock crystalize in the fridge?

I am also struggling with my chocolate, I got the tempering right for dark chocolate 49->28->31/33°C, but when I am letting my left over chocolate stand and crystalize I always have the fat bloom on top of it. But the chocolates made in my molds are shiny and nice, which must indicate that the tempering is right?

So he is just using pure cocoa butter and then applying in a thin layer in the molds before painting with color and filling with chocolate? Applying the cocoa butter with an airbrush? And thank you for the reply!

Hello everyone, I see that you have been talking alot about Andrew Dubovik's techniques and one think that I am wondering; how is he managing to make the sheels SO shiny? It is almost like they are made of glass! Do you know what the secret is? Cheers! Mads.
