Easy and Decorative Chocolate Roses for Valentine's Day
- 50 grams Chocolate
- 15 grams Starch based sweet syrup (sugar syrup)
- 5 grams Water
- 6 grams Granulated sugar
- Melt the chocolate over a hot water bath.
- (Do not temper it.)
- Put the water and granulated sugar in a cup and microwave for 30 seconds.
- Melt the sugar to make a syrup.
- Add the starch-based sweet syrup (sugar syrup) to the cup, and dissolve it using a hot water bath.
- Add the sugar mixture to the bowl of chocolate, then mix well over a bowl of ice water.
- It is done when it hardens and looks dry.
- To make the rose, form a 1-2 cm ball.
- Then flatten it into an oval shape.
- (I work on an ice pack covered in plastic wrap since my hands are warm.)
- Roll it between your fingers.
- This will form the core of the rose.
- Add two little petals.
- Then add three larger petals.
- (I recommend setting the petals into a triangular form at this step.)
- Continue adding more petals until you reach your desired size.
- Trust your intuition!
- Note: The roses look best if the core is set higher than the petals.
- I also recommend slightly curling the petals outward.
- This is how they should looks from the side.
- Use them to decorate mousse pudding.
- Then gift wrap them.
- Or else decorate a cake.
- See.
- They're easy to make and look gorgeous.
- Try decorating with different sized roses.
- Combine them with chocolate ribbons when decorating.
- Be creative!
