Chocolate Decorations
Curls, leaves, feathers and flourishes
that look far harder to make than they are.
WAIT... YOU CAN MAKE THOSE YOURSELF?
Yep. And some are ridiculously simple.
Chocolate curls, leaves, feathers, spirals and shards can turn an otherwise simple dessert into something spectacular. And while they may look like the work of a pastry chef, many rely on little more than tempered chocolate and one surprisingly simple tool or technique.
The trick is knowing how they're made.
THE TOOLS THAT MAKE IT SURPRISINGLY EASY
This is where things get clever.
Some chocolate decorations that look impossibly complicated are made with surprisingly simple tools. A shaver creates beautiful curls. A tiny metal comb makes delicate feathers. Even an ordinary decorating comb can create effects that look anything but ordinary.
