Happy Diwali!

Not very creative this time.. Dint really get time to make a nice rangoli or to click a better pic! Damn the cards season!!

Chocolate Doli

So finally I managed to make a "3D" chocolate! I know this hardly qualifies as a chocolate statue but I guess its a start! It was extremely challenging and I'd love to do something similar again. The best part is that I got paid for it AND a local news channel covered it in an electronic interview. They shot the process of making the "DOLI" (which was nearly 3 hours- not counting the 3 hours I had put in it before that!) and my friend managed to get a few pictures too! Really happy with the results! Please leave your comments! :) :)
 

Support for ANNA!

With the entire nation supporting Anna Hazare, there are loads of humourous messages and jokes doing the rounds on the internet...

I totally support Anna and his movement, but just thought of having a little bit of photoshop fun!

Chocolate Eggs II

The two chocolate eggs in a chocolate basket!

I decorated the boring egg finally, and also made another one filled with some soft butterscotch flavoured chocolate. In addition I made the nest also with chocolate this time and filled it with loads of sliced almonds! The nest was definitely the best looking part!

The one filled with creamy butterscotch chocolate

The one with the MnM

The chocolate basket or nest is very easy to make and can be used for presenting any sort of chocolate dipped fruits, candies, dry fruits, etc. The main idea is to have different colors so that the "weave" shows.
Its simply made by covering a bowl with foil and making patterns on it!

Edible Nest!

White Chocolate Egg on a Caramel Nest

This is one of my favourite creations till date! The caramel nest is fairly easy to make- its plain sugar, and the chocolate is made to set in an egg mold (im thinking of making a vid tutorial for this soon). This entire edible nest would look incredible on any cake, especially a chocolate log! I think Im going to try it tomorrow coz I still havent eaten it. The egg is mainly hollow with a single bright orange (i wanted yellow) MnM inside :)

These eggs would look great in a basket- too realistic probably! Which is why the next time I make them im surely gonna add some colour to them.
