Having a day of testing new moulded chocolate decorations. All our new chocolates start with a basic concept, then go through a number of development steps. We start by pairing the flavours to different chocolate couvertures, then decide how best to convey each flavour, as a ganache, caramel or something else. Countless recipe tests later, we start bringing it all together, working out the best ratio for the layers. Then it's onto the shape of the mould, and finally the decoration, which has to convey all the work that came before, whilst also hinting at the flavour inside. We've been developing these flavours for about 4 months before we even started thinking about the decoration. Still some more testing to do on these (bottom one looks like it will turn out darker than we hoped) but we're nearly there! #nopainnogain #labouroflove #handpaintedchocolates #chocolatemould #mouldedchocolates #artisanchocolate #handmadechocolate #finechocolate #chocoholic #eponinepatiss #eponine #luxurychocolate
