YES YOU CAN MAKE THESE FLOWERS FROM CHOCOLATE
This posting is all about making 'moulding chocolate'...It's proper name is 'plastique'
For the white chocolate 'plastic':
500g good quality white chocolate, broken into pieces
325ml glucose
100ml sugar syrup
100g cocoa butter
Method :
Make the white chocolate 'plastic'. Melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl suspended over a pan of simmering water.
Place the glucose and sugar syrup in a heavy-based saucepan. Bring to the boil and stir in the melted chocolate and the cocoa butter, mixing thoroughly.
Set aside to rest for at least 12 hours before using. Mould into roses, leaves and fans, decorate cake with chocolate twists and add roses.
