Once the chocolate bases and petals have set, begin assembling
the flower. Using a paper piping cone ( see our online video
for instructions) and some tempered pink chocolate, adhere the
petals to the base. When adhering the petals, ensure they over-
lap slightly. Start with the smallest petals, angling them slightly
inwards, in the centre of the disc and work your way out while
increasing the size and gradually angling them outwards. Place
into the freezer.
NOTES
The quantities of petals required will depend on how thick or thin you make the chocolate.
If you are not going to spray the flower with velvet spray, do not place it into the freezer, simply allow to set at room
temperature.
50g (1.76oz) of the remaining chocolate will be used for the Pink Velvet Spray.
Once set, any remaining chocolate that does not get used can be stored in an airtight, opaque packaging and used in
your next application.
