Chocolate Decorations

1. 1

   You can find rubber combs (plastic and metal combs don't bend so I don't use them) in the rubber section of a home improvement store.

2. 2

   Tape together some finely cut cake film with adhesive tape as shown in the photo, melt the chocolate, and run the comb through it.

3. 3

   To make a tornado: I wrap the tape around a rolling pin and stock it in the freezer to speed up the process.

4. 4

   To make a wave: I use pens, and secure the film with adhesive tape, and stick it the freezer.

5. 5

   To make chocolate leaves: Rinse ivy or rose leaves, blot dry, and use the back side of the leaves.

6. 6

   Thickly coat the leaves with the melted chocolate and place in the freezer.

7. 7

   Pull the stems of the leaves off using a pair of tweezers, once the chocolate hardens.

8. 8

   I used my finger to make swirls in the photo in Step 4.

9. 9

   Make cornets, place the melted chocolate inside, fold the top, and cut off the tip.

10. 10

    Draw whatever pictures you like onto parchment paper.

11. 11

    I drew some wings shown in the background of the photo, but hearts are also cute.

12. 12

    Store in a plastic container.

13. 13

    Spread them onto parchment paper, and store in the freezer.
