Need Help In Making Chocolate Cigars/curls/rolls
Updated 23 Aug 2012 , 7:50amby Evoir
I never have managed to make the chocolate cigar/cigarette in the traditional manner so after too many failures and with a cake order bearing down on me I resorted to “”. here’s how mine turned out:I even used white chocolate melts and while it’s not my proudest moment, they were a big, big hit with all the guests at the party.
Thanks Evoir, for replying i guess i need to start practice more and see if I’m having any further trouble in making choco cigars/curls. Thanks again i really appreciate it.
It is really hard to write a description of how to do it. The main point though is that working your spatual back and forth through the chocolate you have on your bench until it starts to harden. Then you need to push out your cigars while it is still slightly malleable. Its a small window of workability!!Good luck with it, hon
Coffee And A Good Book Cake
This was a Birthday cake I made for a gentleman who loves to read and loves Starbucks Coffee!! All cakes are totally edible and made from Vanilla Butter Cake and frosted with Buttercream frosting and then covered in fondant. The ‘sticky’ notes are made from fondant with a note written in edible ink. The Starbuck’s Coffee cup is a ‘prop’ I covered the cup and lid with fondant, copied the label and ‘glued’ it to the cup using water. I like to present my cakes as an overall scene or tablescape. I believe it adds to the presentation for the client. I hope you enjoy it!
Washed Up Plumber Cake
The washed up plumber cake was made for a friend who was a plumber. The bottom layer is a sheet cake, then a small square cake on top, hand cut for sink, then covered in fondant.
I hand molded the man out of gum paste and used luster dust for sink details. The water is piping gel…Thanks for looking…
Tip:Make your gum paste decorations in advance so they have time to dry. This will also make putting the cake together much faster and easier on the day you are serving it.
