Confections! What did we make? (2017 – )

[Rajala]

New bonbons. I don't know what to call the filling. It's a praliné, but it's not? It's "duja", but it's not? It's under investigation, will update you once I've figured it out

@Rajala I really like the yellow stripe of cocoa butter.  Simple yet classy.  Would you share what tool you used to apply the cocoa butter to the mold?

Yessss. I saw someone using a Dremel to make a "swirl" in their mold once, I tried that only to discover that force of something spinning could to other things.

@Rajala  Nice! Thanks for sharing. It’s inspiring! I haven’t moved into the airbrushing world yet so I like to see how color is used without airbrushing.

You're very welcome. Well, I'm kind of tired of airbrushes haha. Right now I'm thinking of what you can do except just blasting a mold with cocoa butter. 😅

Last workshop we wanted to look at decorating without an airbrush - don’t think we succeeded though

Chocolatier and author Tine Prefers Chocolate has an ebook on decorating without an airbrush.  Her striped bonbon is beautiful; alas, my experiments have not equaled hers.
