Adding Cocoa Roses to "Death By Chocolate" Cake: Part 1

Video Transcript

Hi I'm Karen for Expert Village, now I'm going to show you how to make chocolate roses that we're going to decorate our cake with. I've taken our chocolate paste out of the refrigerator and as you can see it's gotten very hard and firm. We can you use this to mold with, it is very temperature sensitive so you have try not to handle it to much and you have to put it back into the refrigerator from time to time as your working with it if you find that it becomes to soft. To do the rose we'll start with a small piece about a size of a marble. And we're just going to pinch that into a sort of long pointed shape like this, as you can see it's already melting in my hand. And we'll put that to the side, I'm working on a piece of baking paper which is non stick baking paper. Next we're going to take another piece about a size of a marble again and roll that, we don't want to handle it to much so we just roll it quickly. We're going to take a kitchen knife a flat knife, and smear that down onto the paper and while your doing that you want to almost spreading it on onto the paper, leaving it thick to the back and very thing at the edge. You sort of have this size shape and you can smooth that out with a knife. Now your going to lift that up see it's very soft and were going to take our center and we're just going to wrap that pedal around the center and remove a bit at the end and we'll put that to the side. Let that sit while we're doing our next piece.
