Welcome to howtocookthat.net I am Ann Reardon for a printable copy of any of the recipes
go to the website how tocookthat.net Today we are looking at chocolate decorations
that you can use to jazz up your desserts or your cupcakes.
First of all we will look at piped designs, these are one of the easiest things to do
but if you are not confident in the actual designs you can print out the template which
is on the website and place some baking paper over the top. and here I've just put some
chocolate in a plastic bag and just twisted it at the top so that when you apply pressure
it doesn't come out the other end. And with my designs I like to add a stem to
the bottom so that you can stick that into your icing, your chocolate mousse or your
dessert and you have all of your design on top. There are several different designs that
you can use, just follow the templates just like shown to do all of your different designs.
And the final one you just do a skinny oval followed by a shorter fatter one , shorter
fatter circle and then stem again if you want to be able to stick it in to a cupcake or
chocolate mouse whatever you are making. Next chocolate leaves, these just use any
leaf from the garden you want to paint the back of the leaf so that it looks like the
front of the leaf when it is peeled off. Make sure the leaves are washed and fully dried
so you don't have any water on it and also make sure they are not from a plant that has
been sprayed with any insecticide or pesticide obviously. When you are spreading your chocolate
on try not to let it go around the front of the leaf because it makes it hard to peel
off. Once they have been set in the freezer just gently peel back the leaf and you'll
see that you can see all of the veining and all of the pattern from the leaf comes out
onto your chocolate and looks great. Next we will look at two toned chocolate patterns
I really like these and they are simple to do. You just need a texture mat which these
ones I've got from a childs rubbings book, you can get all different ones quite cheaply
that way in the one book.
Get some white chocolate, spread it out over the mat, then using a knife or palette knife
spread it out make sure it goes into all of the little divets. Then get the excess chocolate
and scrape it back into the bowl. It's important here that you get off all of the excess chocolate
otherwise obviously you are going to get that marbled smeared effect of the chocolate that
is not in the divets, so just put it flat on the bench and give it a few more scrapes
to make sure you've got all of the excess off. Then pop that in the freezer until it
is set. And put your contrasting chocolate over the top. Now the trick here is not to
mix it around as you are spreading it because obviously that warm chocolate on top is quickly
going to melt the small amount of chocolate that is in the spirals. So you want to very
gently spread it out with the minimum amount of mixing it around. Once you've got it spread
then use your palette knife to thin it down to the thickness you want your patterned chocolate
to be. Then put that in the freezer to set and gently and carefully peel off the chocolate
and there you have your two toned chocolate design then you can snap that into pieces,
stick it into desserts. Next some chocolate lace circles using a cup
draw a circle shape then cut around it using a stanley knife or xacto knife Then place
your baking paper that has the circels cut out of it onto some aluminium foil. There
is two ways of doing this you can simply use a spoon and drizzle some across like that
or if you want it to be more of an exact thing put some in the piping bag like you used for
piping designs earlier and just scribble it across, you'll get the most strength if you
scribble it in three directions just gives you a bit more strength. Continue to do that
until all of your circles are covered and then just lift your baking paper off while
your chocolate is still melted before it's set. And then pop those in the freezer
and once they are nice and firm you can just peel them off the aluminium foil and you have
a fancy looking lace circle. Thank you for watching don't forget top click to subscribe

don't temper chocolate then it doesn't stay solid at room temperature and after you have
gone to the trouble of making beautiful decorations you want them to stay standing when you serve

Welcome to How To Cook That
I am Ann Reardon and I've had requests this week to show you how
to make a magic chocolate flower dessert. This dessert is inspired by photos of one
you sent me one made by Pastry Chef Joaquim Sousa in Portugal.
Firstly you need something to go in the middle of your dessert. I am using a chocolate macaron.
I have a whole video that shows you how to make chocolate macarons so I'll link to it
in the description below. Next take some tempered chocolate and pour
it out onto some acetate or thin plastic and spread it out nice and thin.
Then give it a shake from one side just to smooth the top and get rid of any air bubbles
in your chocolate. Now using the shape and you can print this
shape out from the website and just use it as a guide make to make a curved line in the
chocolate, followed by another and another one all the way down to the end. Then turn
that whole sheet around and repeat that making a curve so that you're making petal shapes.
Now if you don't want to do this by hand you can instead use two sheets of acetate and
cut the shape out of top one using a utility knife. And then spread the chocolate over
the top and then when you lift up the top piece of acetate you'll be left with the petal
shape. You will need
petals for each dessert.
Working quickly before the chocolate hardens curve it up to make a half circle. I am using
cookie cutters to hold it in place if you have a cylinder that you can use that would
be even better.
Now for our base spread some more chocolate onto the acetate and leave to firm up and
make two chocolate truffles. You can leave them plain or you can fill them with whatever
you like I've got thirty different chocolate truffle recipes on the how to cook that channel
so you can go and choose what you want.
To assemble the dessert use a little chocolate to secure a selection of fruit to the top
of your macaron.
Then cut circles of chocolate using a small circle cutter out of that base chocolate and
then cut each circle in half.
Take one of your chocolate truffles and use a little bit more chocolate to secure the
macaron on top of that . Now this lifts it off the base so the petals can go around it.
Once you chocolate is set, remove the cookie cutters and peel of the acetate. And gently
seperate out the petals from that spare chocolate. And you can just remelt that spare chocolate
and re-temper it to use it again. Arrange the petals around a silicone hemisphere
mold. If you don't have one of these you can just arrange them on the bench but it is going
to be a little bit harder. Then using some more chocolate add the base
in place and this is going to hold all the petals in place right where we want them.
Repeat that of course to make the other half.
To make our creme anglaise or thin custard sauce. You will need egg yolks, sugar, cream,
milk and a vanilla bean. I'll put all the recipe quantities on the howtocookthat.net
website in gram and and ounces and cups. Cut your vanilla bean in half and you'll see
this sticky mass inside. Just use your knife to scrape it off and add it into the cream.
Pour the cream and the milk into a saucepan and you can add the vanilla bean pod in there
too.
While that is heating whisk together sugar and your egg yolks.
Keep an eye on your cream and milk because you don't want it to boil over.
Once it just starts to boil remove it from the heat .
Pour into the egg yolk mixture whisking well as you do. Once it is well mixed in really
well pour it back into the saucepan. And just put it to one side for now and we'll heat
that up in a minute. Now take one half of your petals and use a
little bit of chocolate to hold it in place in the centre of your bowl.
Then add the chocolate macaron to the middle there.
And carefully add the other half into place trying not to break any of your petals off.
If you broke on off like I did just use a bit more chocolate to secure it back into
place being careful not to fuse it to the other petals. We want each one to be on it's
own Add a decoration to the top, if you have edible
flowers they will be ideal but I don't have any so I am using a strawberry cut like a
flower. Leave that at room temperature. When you are ready to serve the dessert return
your anglaise to the heat and heat up to 185 degrees farenheit. If you heat it hotter than
that it will curdle the cream. Immediately pour it through a sieve into a
jug. Then take your dessert to the table and pour
some hot anglaise into the bowl. The hot sauce melts the base of the petals
making them fall open beautifully and gracefully.
You can experiment with different desserts at the centre of your flower. Why not even
an engagement ring if you want to propose.

I can extend with one *** *** Warm Chocolate Melting Cake HOW TO COOK THAT Ann Reardon - YouTube !!! English English Add subtitles/CC
Welcome to How To Cook That, I'm Ann Reardon and today I'm on a cruise in beautiful Mexico.
One of the things people like to do the most on a cruise is of course eat. My kids have
enjoyed eating everything but one of the things they liked the most was the warm chocolate
melting cake.
So I'm going to go chat to the chef now and see if I can get a copy of the recipe for
you.
All our Carnival Imagination guests love that melting chocolate cake.
And how many do you make in a day?
On Carnival Imagination I'm going to produce
portions per day.
Wow 1000, that's huge. And how much chocolate does it take to make that?
I use
pounds of chocolate per day, plus decorations and all together
pounds more.
That is so much chocolate. My subscribers and me love chocolate and I was wondering
if you'd be able to share with us the recipe for the warm chocolate melting cake?
Of course.
To make this dessert you'll need butter, flour, chocolate, eggs - now I've split my eggs into
two bowls here and I'll explain that later - and you'll need sugar. All of the recipe
quantities are on howtocookthat.net website in grams and ounces and cups, I'll link you
to that in the description below.
Turn your oven on to
And put the butter and the chocolate into a saucepan and stir it together until it is
melted. Now at home you can do this together like I showed you in a saucepan. But if you're
making
serves you're going to need to melt them separately. Look at all that chocolate!
Place half the eggs and the sugar into a bowl and
whisk it until it's smooth.
I think their mixer is just a little bit bigger than mine.
And then add in the flour and whisk it some more. Now it's important that there are no
lumps left, you want it to be smooth, so keep whisking it until it's completely free of
any lumps of flour.
Then add in the rest of the eggs and whisk it together some more. Splitting the eggs
into two batches just makes it easier to get rid of all those lumps from the flour.
Combine together your chocolate mixture and the egg mixture. If you do happen to have
lumps in your flour then you can pour it through a sieve to get them out.
Then stir those really well together until the whole mixture is a nice even glossy chocolatey
colour.
Now pour the mixture into individual heat proof bowls
At this stage you can place them in the fridge until you are ready to bake them. You can
make this dessert a day ahead if you want to.
To make your chocolate decorations, spread some tempered chocolate onto some acetate,
and then give it a shake to smooth out the top.
And before it sets drizzle on some melted white chocolate over the top, you can add
as much or as little as you like. Once that is set you just snap it into shards.
When you are nearly ready to serve your dessert place them on a tray in the oven. And then
add some water the bottom of the tray. They are going to take between
and
minutes
to cook, it will depend on if you are taking them from the fridge or if you have got them
at room temperature.
To plate them at home add some crumbs or I'm using popping sugar to your plate, top with
a scoop of ice-cream and one of your chocolate shards.
Add a chocolate melting cake hot from the oven and sprinkle it with icing sugar.
They should be just set on the outside and still gooey in the middle.
The reason I like serving it with popping sugar is as soon as you put it into the hot
chocolate it starts popping like crazy and it adds some crunch to the dessert.
If you can balance this many on a tray you can serve them to the table all at once. If
not just take them one at a time like I do.
I hope you enjoyed that sneak peak into the huge commercial kitchen of the ship.

Have a great week and I'll see you all on Friday. *** *** How to Make Chocolate Leaves | Candy Making - YouTube !!!
So today I'm going to make some chocolate leaves, so I have my tempered dark chocolate
and I have some mint leaves. This is great whenever you’re making any sort of cake
and you want beautiful chocolate leaves coming off of the top of it, super easy. I'm just
picking out the biggest leaves that I can find, which unfortunately on this mint that
I have is this size.
But if you can find really nice large leaves, go for it. I'm just going to pick those off,
and I'm going to take my paint brush and just really carefully, I'm going to take a little
bit of chocolate. You don't want so much that you kind of crush the leaf, but make sure
that you also go on the side that has the veins kind of coming up out of it.
This way you'll get veins that are indented into your chocolate instead of raised. So
again I'm going upside down on my leaf, and I’m just painting. Nice and gently. And
you’re going to get a little bit messy but that's it. Go as thin as you want to or as
thick as you want to. And I'm just putting it right onto a cookie sheet with a little
bit of parchment paper or you can use a silpad if you have a silpad. A silpad is a non-stick
baking mat, so if you have one of those it's really easy to get anything off of it without
it sticking.
The parchment is equally as good. OK. So the few cute little leaves and the hand-covered
in chocolate. So that's it. I'm going to pop those into the freezer because I have patience
and then in a minute when they're ready just going to peel the backs off and we'll have
beautiful chocolate leaves... So here I have my chocolate leaves, they've been in the fridge
for about five minutes so they're nice and firm. If I go to touch them you can see I'm
not leaving a finger print. They're just ready to go.
So I'm going to flip them over and I'm going to gently pull off the mint, and you could
see behind it you have that beautiful chocolate leave ready to go. You can do a couple more
and remember the heat from your hands can melt these so try to work as quickly as possible
or pop them back into the fridge if you need to. I'll just peel the mint off, and that's
it. I'll do one more. So there you have it, that's how you make chocolate leaves. *** *** How to Make Chocolate Leaf Decorations - YouTube !!!
today I'm building on some of my most popular YouTube videos with my chocolate
ones I won't be doing a chocolate cake wrap this time though I will and some
future videos were gonna be doing today is showing you how to make a simple
embellishment that i think is wonderful for holiday time or anytime during the
winter season
essentially we're gonna be making chocolate leaves with actual leaves that
look very very lifelike it can be used standalone elements to stand up around a
cake or to stick on top of a cupcake but instead today we're gonna be making them
into three-dimensional pieces starting first with simple plate under liners
that might be a nice receiving area for either homemade or store-bought truffles
and other goodies and then we're gonna be extending that same basic concept
arranging them into a really festive fall apart chocolate read this would be
beautiful in as a centerpiece on the sweets table and really interactive
dessert I mean guests can come in
kick off what they want and actually pull apart down to the very bottom
leaves so let's get started
ok let's talk about what you'll need for these projects but the underlying reason
the leaves require very few things either a high quality pure chocolate
that will need tampering in order for the leaves to hold their shape for a
long period of time or a high-grade coating chocolate does not need
temporary I'm using the latter a pure white and off white and a dark chocolate
you may also optionally need some cocoa butter crystals to thin the chocolate if
it should over thicken and you could create leaves using more like these but
we're going to actually use real lives because I think they create a much more
lifelike effect first and foremost they need to be clean and completely dry
before you apply any chocolate to them they should be non-toxic and also
pesticide-free will be removing the leaves later but it's important to have
those things in place it's also great if they have great vein structure like this
leaf and that they're relatively shiny and smooth chocolate will come off that
much more easily avoid leaves with holes like this one because the chocolate
seeps through the back and then we'll make the leap more difficult to remove
this week has great vision structure but it's really fuzzy you can't see that I
think it's going to be hard to work with with the chocolate but will try it
anyway
way this leaf by contrast is probably the most shiny and smooth last of the
three the chocolate should come off easily but it only has one central vein
which may make it less interesting I picked up my sleeves in advance I store
them in plastic bags in the fridge until I'm ready to use them but you can pick
them fresh if you'd like as well
but I'm the leaves are simply melted in a double boiler over low heat if I'm
using a coating chocolate that doesn't require tempering I behold video on that
subject if you are using a real chocolate you may want to temper it to
the leaves hold their shape longer but that's the matter of a separate
discussion you want the chocolate to be nice and fluid like this and then the
rabbit and painting it on with a brush which doesn't tend to get good coverage
very quickly and it's very hard to clean like to apply it with the back and the
handle on end of the paint brush gently tapping in on the vein side of the leaf
here and putting it on that bus leave we'll see how that works I'm putting on
all three leaves and I'll see how they look and how easily the chocolate peels
off at the end of the day now I want to make a range of different colors of
leaves from adding just a touch of the dark chocolate to my white chocolate to
get this really soft brown color which i think will make a nice contrast subtle
contrast to the other white and off-white leaves that I've got again
just tapping or dabbing the chocolate onto the back pains I the leaf leaf is
completely clean and dry and i wanna make sure also that I don't put it in an
email to chocolate or get any melted chocolate on the back of the leave
because then the leaves will be more difficult to remove no one says leave so
set in the fridge I want to pick off and a chocolate that might be on the back
side of the leaf because if you doubt it will tear not come off and just
generally gently peel away now this is my wax de-iced leaf the one with the
central vein structure but not much else and it kills off super easily as you can
see it's a great leave as far as removing the chocolate from it is going
to take that trip there is a little more smoothly than you can sometimes do that
with the warmth of your hand and this is the leaf that's relatively shiny with
great vein structure it took a little more pressure or effort to pull off the
leaf but it came off in one piece and I've got a great looking leaf so that's
also really nicely if to use and this was the fuzzy belief this is taking a
lot more pressure to pull it off and you'll see it a lot greener mess because
some belief seems to actually be sticking into the chocolate we certainly
don't want that and actually can't get the leaf off so this is just an example
of a leaf not to work with Italy feels fuzzy
even if it has great brain structure don't use it
ok so even if you happen to choose to leave that doesn't have super vein
structure you can always highlight those veins by Dustin with a little cocoa
powder here I'm just applying dried cocoa powder with the drug craft paint
brush onto a fully set chocolate leave and you can see it is bringing out the
small vein structure on the sides of this leaf quite nicely as well I like
that
to put it together first I just a bit of melted chocolate onto a silicon lined
cookie sheet you can also line with parchment paper but I love silicone mask
is everything comes off them so easily and to give these under liners a little
lift I'm gonna be lifting up the ends of some of the leaves with paper towels
just to give them a little more dimension and tell the chocolate in the
centre sacks and on about six or seven leaders to fill out this little round of
leaves if you well
lifting up some of the leaves and leaving some of the others lying flat on
the silicon mat you just wanna make sure that all the ends of the leaves make
contact with a chocolate so that when it is set after a couple minutes in the
fridge they all stick together in one piece just sliding them off the silicon
mat with the tip of my paring knife and I'm gonna put two together just to give
it a little more fullness my dessert plate and then simply top them off with
some store-bought and homemade truffles I also like to use some gold foil
wrapped candies particularly on New Year's Eve cuz they look super fast this
will just be a little prelude to my dessert course New Years Eve really
really pretty
ok now we can use the same
bundles we just made to create a more elaborate chocolate which would be great
for your New Year's dessert table I'm simply taking those bundles and
arranging them in a little bit of sugar around the edge of the glass cake stand
elected sugar here because it keeps the bundles from sliding around it it's also
easy enough for guests to pull off the chocolate leaves later when they're
ready to eat them I'm gonna stop us all off with the chocolate ribbon of a whole
video but how to make chocolate ribbons with modeling chocolate this one has
been sprayed with a little bit of bronze lustre spray so it's extra Clipz for New
Years it just makes you beautiful centerpiece presentation
ok so I'm back to strap on that my chocolate tree with a few more little
gold dredge days and not to give it some extra spark call it pretty easy right
you can either start very very easily with a simple plate under liner or build
up into this more elaborate for a centerpiece in a future video in a bill
that hopefully even higher into these sweet little dessert cups that can be
filled with not removed her what have you so till next video live sweetly *** *** Alice in Wonderland's Edible Rose Bush; Creating The Chocolate Leaves and Putting It All Together - YouTube !!!
in this video will be making the
third and final part at the Alice in Wonderland at a bar a splash
just hope will be making be chocolate leaves
now to make a trap it leaves taken any
Bassett leaves they're close enough to what grossly
looks like but it's got more definition as you can see on the undersigned
of the leaf we're going to his temper some dark chocolate
and taking a paintbrush chest brush the underside
until all coated a good and make sure
its taken off hot too thin and these themes will break
set those aside for an hour or two and then once a dry he can pick them up in
very gently
just pull back P Bassani from the chocolate
pay and once at the Society ken cuz basil leaf
this leave a look at it while dressed to and just need
dry out
now the truckers been attached to the wire just a little bit more
melted chocolate just overlap those two wires and use a little bit more
for all tape stickiness and
chest flap that lesson tightly all the way down the wire
the more you do the more secure its gonna be
so when you get down to this point so rapid up
and down I can until
thats all captured to
attach the Rose defended the exact same thing
overlap two wires and just use your floral tape
to attached impact that each other
so to finish it off it can have some leftover
while a thing from when you're going the process so if you grab some
add deep red food I to start on that
into the laptop for a while I think and then just painted
just gently on one or two other roses looks like the playing cards have been

now I highly recommend you start someplace
