Step by step
1. Temper the chocolate and pour a portion of it onto the
plastic foil or silk screen foil. 1
2. Spread the chocolate out evenly with the triangular palette
knife. 2 3
3. Allow to harden very briefly at room temperature till the
chocolate feels dry to the touch (not too long!).
4. Press the shaped cutting form firmly into the chocolate layer.
Don't twist or slip but just push the moulds straight into the
layer and remove. Repeat to make as many decoration plates as
possible. Naturally, you can also cut out the desired pictures with
a pointed knife. 4
5. Turn over the foil immediately and lay it with the chocolate
layer down on a stainless steel plate covered with paper. The
chocolate should still not be completely hardened so that the
pictures don't tear loose from the foil. 5
6. Place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes or so to harden
completely.
7. Remove the foil when the chocolate has set hard. 6
8. The foil gives the chocolate a particularly beautiful glazed
finish.
