How to Make a Chocolate Sunflower | Chocolate Decorations
Hi there !!!!
Hope you enjoyed the video ! Im on a chocolate streak, Im enjoying the all these projects using candy melts to create decor for desserts. You can use Cooking chocolate too. The beauty of using this chocolate is that there is not tempering needed.
Im no expert in Chocolate but often tempering and chocolate art can be scary but using cooking chocolate cuts out that process and sets up very quickly and has a similar look.
I like to show that there are shortcuts and ways to simply makes decoration pieces without the fancy tools and techniques.
Check out my tutorial on how to make piping bags :

The key in this project is to ensure the chocolate isnt too hard when outlining the petals, we don't want them to crack. so if the chocolate is firm and doesn't settle you can outline.
Make plenty of petals in case they do break. Its always best to have extra on hand.
Test on a corner somewhere to see how it is.
Once your flower is made avoid holding or putting any strain on the petals, these will break so easily and have done for me many times. Use the base to hold and if your laying it on a cake surface. Use an off set spatula just under the base to lift and move into position onto your cake or dessert. One finger on the top middle of the flower with an offset spatula underneath will be a good way to go.
