If you go to the list of products , link : http://www.oldstylecakes.com/prodlist.asp ,this is 4th product from above called "Autumn Flower Minis".

Quote from it's description "The taste elements are artfully combined beneath a solid piece of chocolate sculpted into a flower"

This would be so cool , if I able to make it myself. If anyone knows how to make this, could you please share the technique or give me some link. Thanks in advance.

Btw hope this IS in the right forum.

Well, there are two ways to make the chocolate fower. One is a special tool called a griole and my spelling is lifely off a bit. I have ne and its great.

The other way is to thinly spread tempered chocolate on a flat surface. Let it mostly solidify. Then use something flat like a spatula and scrape up "petals" of chocolate. You scrap in a curved pattern so that one end of the scrape is quite narrow and the other end quite wide so that it comes out looking petalish.

If you're not accustomed to working with chocolate, it will take a little practice to find that perfct point when the chocolate is loose enough to be scraped and not too solid to shatter.

That's why I bought the tool. And the special chocolate.

Hi leahs,

Thanks for the quick reply, but I can't seem to find the tool in google, do you know where I can buy it online.

This recent thread on chocolate ruffles started by ShirleyW might help you. http://forum.cakecentral.com/cake-decorating-ftopict-159411-girolle.html

The tool is called La Girolle and here's a link to Beryl's for it: http://beryls.safeshopper.com/200/8135.htm?634

Hi miriel

Thank you so much, knowing this now I can finally sleep at night.

I already feel in love with this forum, it's the best help you can get. Btw I'm just a hobbyist, but determine to make a perfect wedding cake for my brother, well not that he's getting married any time sooner, just thinking that would be the perfect gift from me.

I'm going to use this technique on top of a petit four, well now probably the best time to learn how to do that. Well thanks again, really appreciate everyone's help.

The cheapest I've seen the Girolle is at Chef Rubber.
