Chocolate Roses
Did this one for my husband's co-worker for a thank-you. He's a chocolate fanatic so I decided to try chocolate roses. They were fun to do; would have been very easy if only I don't have HOT hands. Wearing gloves helped but I still had to work very fast which was a bit difficult for a first timer :) The cake was chocolate fudge filled with Grand Marnier chocolate truffle ganache and coffee buttercream. Covered with fondant that was infused with espresso but the color didn't show in the photo.
Just lovely!
This cake has a stunning presentation. I think I will have to try it!
Looks and sounds divine!!!!! Great job!!
wow! your roses turned out beautifully! how did you make them so perfectly?!
The roses are lovely? What recipe did you use?
YUM! This cake sounds and looks delicious-very elegant.
I used the same method as I would with gum paste roses but formed the petals by hand, no cutters used. First, flat a small ball of chocolate to a thick cirle then pulled gently on the edge into a rose petal shape, thin the edges as much as you can without breaking. Modeling choc. recipe: 1 lb. bittersweet choc, 2/3 cup light corn syrup. Melt chocolate and syrup over a double boiler (or microwave on low power). Spread mixture over plastic wrap, cover with plastic wrap and let age in fridge at least a day
