Meant To Say....

Meant to tell you all this the other day, but forgot. I had an email from Stephanie at PetitPlat, telling me she had written about me and my Truffle Tutorial over on her CDHM Blog.
A big Thank you to Stephanie and I hope she's now enjoying her trip to Korea..
The picture is of the Truffles, Stephanie made after following my Tutorial.

Also meant to tell you that I've put a link in my side bar of Sites that I Stalk, a link to my photobucket albums. In case any of you want a nose..

A Secret Surprise For A Friend...

I've been working on a Secret Surprise for a friend over the last few weeks. I've been making a few chocolates each time, I've been playing with the clay..
That friend is Marsha from Sassy Mini Dolls.
Marsha is currently working on a Chocolate Shop and have I told you she Loves the colour Pink.
I emailed Marsha these pictures this morning, so that she could see them first, before I shared them with everyone on my blog.
If you click on the pictures they should pop up bigger.

Truffle Tower...

Remember those little Truffles I made the other day. Well I made them into a Truffle Tower last night.
I made a cone of clay and baked it. Once it was cool, I sat and glued the Truffles on to the cone..
There are a few gaps, as the Truffles are not a uniform size. But I think it passes muster...
Marsha did you notice the Pink... LOL..

Making Truffles..

I made some Truffles yesterday.
Here's an easy way to make them.
First off you need some Sculpy Mold Maker. (I found some in my stash).
Then some Peppercorns, yes I did say Peppercorns.
Roll out some of the mold maker, be careful because it's very sticky. Then pop it in the fridge until it's cold.
Get a small container and put in either Corn Flour or Talc, tip in some Peppercorns and stir, so that the peppercorns are coated.
Get the mold maker out of the fridge, make sure it feels firm to the touch and press in the coated Peppercorns and then pop them out with a pin.
Bake the mold maker for the correct time then remove from the oven and allow to cool.
Before using the Mold, brush with a little water and then press in small balls of clay and release.
Make as many as you want, then bake for the recommend time. You should now have convincing little Truffles. Marsha did you notice I made some Pink ones. Have I told you Marsha Loves Pink.
