Product Information

Add 1% cocoa butter powder to your melted chocolate, i.e. ¼ teaspoon for 50g chocolate or ½ teaspoon for 100g chocolate. I am using a product from Callebaut called Mycryo and it is perfect. Buy any cocoa butter powder if Mycryo is not available for you Pour some yellow paint onto your plate or tray, this makes it easier to access and the plate is perfect for giving a nice big surface for your sponge. Make sure first that you properly clean the mold(I am using vinegar and paper towel) as any residue will be seen on the chocolate While melting chocolate it has to reach 45C (white) 45-50C (dark). If by accident you overheat the chocolate or burn it, please start again. Chocolate molding can only be achieved with properly tempered chocolate 2. Chocolate is too runny

When the timer goes off, remove the pan from the heat, but let the eggs remain in the hot water for 13 minutes (that’s another timer). This simple craft is a really easy way to change things up from using a paintbrush without having to get too messy. Each variety or type of chocolate should be tempered before you use it to mold chocolates and hollow figures or to enrobe cakes and chocolates. In short, whenever chocolate needs to have a beautiful satin gloss and a hard snap, tempering is absolutely crucial. This foil painted Easter egg craft is super easy for kids to do and comes with a free printable template too. Temper 50g Callebaut WhiteChocolate (callets)as explained above then using a brush or perhaps your fingers, apply a small amount of white chocolate on the mold then scrape the excess down. Make sure you use the chocolate on the “working temp” that is between 27-30C / 80.6-86F – see notes above at the chocolate tempering section. Note: You won´t need all the chocolate, but it is very difficult to temper anything less than 50g. Let the remaining chocolate set and you can re-use it any time.Allow the dark chocolate to cool at room temperature to 34.5°C / 94F, white chocolate 31.5°C /89F by stirring with a spoon Whether you’re looking for a new decoration or some fun activities for the kids, these projects have something for everyone. gently tap the side of the mold with the scraper to get rid of the excess chocolate - that should fall onto the table (and can be re-used later) Chocolate work is really about following a few simple rules that are mainly related to good quality ingredients, equipment, and most importantly the right temperature. The Easter Parade tradition lives on in Manhattan, with Fifth Avenue from 49th Street to 57th Street being shut down during the day to traffic. Participants often sport elaborately decorated bonnets and hats. The event has no religious significance, but sources note that Easter processions have been a part of Christianity since its earliest days. Today, other cities across America also have their own parades. Lamb and Other Traditional Easter Foods

The purpose of tempering chocolate is to pre-crystallise the cocoa butter in it, which is important to make your chocolate ready for processing. During tempering, the cocoa butter in the chocolate takes on a stable crystalline form. This guarantees a perfect finished product with a satin gloss and a hard snap. It also makes the chocolate contract during cooling, which makes it easier to unmould.Caring for pets has long been credited with teaching children responsibility, trust, compassion, understanding, empathy and respect for animals and by extension other people. Parents who adopt pets from shelters teach children about the importance of saving a life and committing to the care of that animal for his or her lifetime. For a consistent happy baking experience always measure your ingredients with the help of a Digital scale.Cup measurement is an indicative figure onlyand not appropriate for making chocolate figures! When you add chocolate to dishes as a flavor component (e.g. chocolate mousses), it suffices to simply melt it without tempering. If chocolate is simply melted and then left to cool down, the finished product will not be glossy. If you make the small effort of bringing your chocolate to the right working temperature properly, you are guaranteed to get the desired end result. And that’s what we mean by tempering: bringing chocolate up to the right working temperature while making sure that the crystalline structure of the cocoa butter in it is stable.
