Artist's Comments

This was the first project of the second year of baking and pastry arts. It's a chocolate stand and box made with Lindt surfin couverture and Lindt white couverture coloured with red cocoa butter. Cocoa butter transfers were used for the top and bottom of the stand and a textured sheet was used for the chocolate boxe's lid. The arms of the stand were handpiped.
The entirety of the project was coated in chocolate spray.

Tempering was a pain in the ass until I learned how to use the marble slab. The attachment of the "S's" was the hardest part. As well, there was a problem with the cocoa butter transfers and a bit of fat bloom ocurred on the bottom of the base. It was a good first project though, and I'm quite proud of it.

Actually we moved them today, from our lab to our on campus restaurant to be used as displays! It was a little nerve-racking but our temper was good, so they were all quite strong!

Back in the day, they used to dress up to play croquet.

I'm not sure whether to eat it before it melts, or put it in the freezer so I can save it forever... :O
