How I Save Chocolate Ganache

 This is the problem when I overheat couverture chocolate.

Grainy, yucky looking.

I use LINDT chocolates for my chocolate ganache.

How to 'save' it?
By whipping, i use my hand mixer.

Whip them good, then into the fridge for 15 minutes.
Take it out, whipped again.

Do it repeatedly until ganache come back to normal.

This ganache was freshly made, so i let them sit overnight before use them.

Gum Paste Calla Lilies Pictorial

Prepare your gumpaste, cut to size then veined.

Veining process.

Veined.

Use ball tool to thin the edges.

Use sugar glue on wide parts.

Prepare the cone.

Wrap around the cones,

and use your fingers to create frills.

Let them dry completely.

Once dried, dust them with CK Turquoise lustre dust.

Make the stamen, i forgot to take photos.

Roll gumpaste with the size to suit those petals.

Let them dry completely.

Once dried, attach to petals with sugar glue.

I let them "sit" on egg cartons while I attached the stamens.

This is why I always make more, i always break some.

Here they are on top of cupcakes, ready for delivery.

Cake Balls

I found lots of tutorials I made as a reminder for myself in the past (when I was still caking).

I would like to share it here, might be useful for me if I do go back to caking world again.

Ok...start from Cake Balls :)


Made these many Moon ago on how to make cake balls.

Have your cake ready.

Have your buttercream ready.

Crumb the cake and mix in buttercream.

Form into balls.  Freeze for a bit, not too long.

Melt those chocolate, adding a little bit of vegetable shortening.

Use fork, dip them 1 by 1 into melted then into the fridge to harden.

Ready to eat straight away....

or to decorate, and package.

Some got into the box.

These were made for my friend :)

Here are other cake balls 

and simple cupcake balls,
