We were playing with a thermoformer that had integrated cocoa butter transfers - bugs need to be worked out but it shows promise!

 

 

 

Could be very interesting! Do you have more details to share? Is the thermoformer for sale or just the pre-colored moulds?

The thermoformer is for sale - it's around 3000 euros - I believe that Lesepidado makes the sheets for you. I'm having a little trouble determining if they also sell the printing systems so you can make your own sheets. Looks like they sell other printers but the cocoa butter one is a little different. The thermoformed is another company - I've lost track of his card - I'll get that again today.

 

They can't/don't put white behind - I can't determine if it's can't or don't. I think you could spray the white yourself behind with a spray gun - but likely not before the thermoforming process.

I'm quite excited by this - a fellow dropped around on the first day talking about things he was making for magnetic molds and similar. He said he'd bring me a sample to take home and play with. He didn't show up again until yesterday but he brought along this rather heavy stainless mold. The inside has a flexible piece of some sort of plastic onto which you pour and scrape off one colour of chocolate - then back with a contrasting chocolate. He can make these mats for standard magnetic molds as well as you can see on the catalogue. Essentially it can place a raised version of your logo on the top of your chocolate. The very heavy stainless mold he brought me yesterday will make a little chocolate plaque to place in a dessert.

Breakfast at the cafe in the grocery store that is everywhere - Conad (now known as Conrad by all) - the other night the lights on part of their sign was out. Sadly I was too slow to grab a picture of ‘nad’.

 

The booze is also available this hour of the am

Such heathens, those Italians. Here in Ontario we know that booze with breakfast is the devil’s playground.

Well known Italian pastry chef Luca Montercino  who happens to be an EZtemper owner!

There was quite the parade of Selmi’s returning to their docking stations at the end of the competitions

Back to B’s family for dinner again tonight. It was just Bhavani and I until @Alleguede and B returned from packing suitcases - so all the put away food returned.

Why, exactly would you want those qualities in a chocolate mold?

That is a very good question. I think the important part would be the insert. This particular mold has knobs on the bottom with interfere with it lying flat when molding as well.

Do they sell suitcases at Eataly World?  Seems like it would be a good business.

 

If I'd seen your pictorial on that Lurisia Chinotto, I would have purchased the bottle I was eyeing at an import shop the other day.  Next time!
