Ingredients for Chocolate roses

Step by step instruction of cooking Chocolate roses

Шаг 1

I warn you once, to cook we have 2 days.
First we need to cook a special syrup.

Шаг 2

Be patient and from time to time stirred the syrup with a spoon.
Foam is less. For me, the process took about an hour.
The result is a brown mass type of liquid honey.
If the brown sugar, the syrup is darker, if the ordinary white sugar, the syrup is light brown.

Шаг 3

Now we can make chocolate "dough".
Tile good dark chocolate broken into pieces.

Шаг 4

In a water bath melt the chocolate. No restrictions type, "the bottom saucepan should not touch the water, the steam should not get in the pot, etc.". Can melt the chocolate in a profit center.

Шаг 5

In the melted chocolate, add 3 tablespoons of syrup and stir until thick. Chocolate thickens quickly.
On plastic wrap spread with chocolate "dough" quite thin - 0,7-0,5 see

Шаг 6

Our cover of "dough" wrap and leave at room temperature for 12 hours.

Шаг 7

Start to be creative.
We need: a silicone Mat or a piece of cloth, a knife, a rolling pin, wine glasses of different diameters to cut the petals, floss and, of course, chocolate itself "dough". After standing "dough" noticeably hardened.

Шаг 8

Osipyan piece "test" and mash it in your fingers until soft. Remember how to sculpt from clay?

Шаг 9

With a rolling pin roll out the ball into thin flapjack - 2 mm.
Chocolate "dough" is very pliable, not sticky and does not stain hands.
But too long, dealing with them is not necessary, still it is chocolate, he begins to melt from the heat of the hands.

Шаг 10

A glass or other fixture cut out the circles, petals of roses of the future.

Шаг 11

From the remnants of the test roll the ball and pull it into the cone is the middle of the flower. The length of the cone must be equal to the diameter of a petal.

Шаг 12

Take the circle and use your fingers to mash it, especially the edge, thinly, thinly, to the thickness of the petal of a live rose, the edges become a little jagged.

Шаг 13

Wrap the petal around the cone. Pressed against the cone.

Шаг 14

So gradually formed a rosette.
Everything that accumulates on the bottom, Osipyan and use again.
The finished rosette pinned on a toothpick and put in glass.
It is clear that the larger the diameter of a petal, the larger the rose.

Шаг 15

That is the miracle we have created with weak handles.
Leaf I carved the mold for the mastic.
