A few little touches

Simple and fun to make. These Sunflower lollies are 5" in diameter and with a royal icing lady bug, bumble bee, or butterfly they move up to super cute. I made the Sunflowers with yellow compound coatings and used the coatings to glue a bug onto them. Place them in a clay flower pot for a wonderful display. The recipe for these Sunflowers and other Spring chocolates can be found in my book Chocolates By Imagination Spring and Summer.

While we wait for Spring.

This is the time of year I start making flowers and butterflies to put around my shop. Even thought the weather outside seems cold and grey, inside I can have Spring with chocolates. These butterflies are made with white compound coatings. I dye the coatings for the colorful wings and used dark coatings for the body and antennas.  The recipe for these butterflies and other Spring chocolates can be found in my book Chocolates By Imagination  Spring and Summer.

White Chocolate Valentine's Box

White Chocolate flavored Cherub Box

I have many Chocolate Boxes to share with you before Valentine's Day. This is a completely eatable White Chocolate flavored Box filled with Petite Mints. It looks great in a clear cello bag with a Valentine ribbon. It is very simple to make. Melt the white chocolate flavored compound coatings, pour it into the mold and cool in the frig for 25 minutes. Fill it with mints or your favorite candies and package with a ribbon. That's it! You made your own Valentine's gift.
