When I did it, chocolate plastic wasn't too common on food blogs and I didn't see anything online explaining how to do it. Only professional bakers/pastry chefs seemed to know how to make these roses. Now everyone can make them. Cool! Your comment made my day! Hope you have a blast making the white chocolate ones!Cakebrainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11105616222969699846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202234701285349376.post-2892295886807607412012-03-20T15:38:07.139-07:002012-03-20T15:38:07.139-07:00Just want you to know that even years later, your ...Just want you to know that even years later, your tutorial is still helping people out. I'm so glad to have found it! Despite not being artistically inclined (I might actually have negative skill in this regard) I wanted to try to make something home-made for my mom's birthday. And then I found this, and the way you broke it down gave me the courage to try. I'm so surprised how lovely they turned out, and how easy they were to make! That was all you, by the way, because without guidance, my projects tend to look like a third grader's. I think I'll try white chocolate and food coloring next!

I just started learning wax carving and casting, and I really wanted to create a rose. Your steps really helped-- of course, I had to alter the directions as I used primarily fire to soften the wax sheets. But it came out beautifully.

Corn syrup does not crystallize and honey and other liquid sugars do. <br />Do you have a baking supplies store in the UK? Pastry chefs must be able to get something similar. Can you order online?

I don't know exactly what you mean ...Hi Brazil,<br />I don't know exactly what you mean by "becomes chocolate again" because it IS chocolate. The malleable toffee-like consistency is maintained for a long time because of the corn syrup. The rose should maintain its form at room temperature and will not "melt". I do think that if you live in a very hot, humid climate, that you should be making and storing this rose in an air-conditioned environment.Cakebrainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11105616222969699846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202234701285349376.post-70916550559244116772010-11-03T16:30:06.980-07:002010-11-03T16:30:06.980-07:00Hi, I would like to know if the rose become chocol...Hi, I would like to know if the rose become chocolate again (if it dries out or it keeps moist).
