Chocolate Roses

Easy way to decorate any cake

Sacher Torte decorated with dark chocolate roses.


Ingredients:
100 g Chocolate, melted
50 g Glucose syrup
(or less - amount is always 2 : 1)
Method:
Melt chocolate. If you want to make leaves, you have to do it at this stage. Brush rose leaves with melted chocolate, and leave to set.
Add glucose into chocolate, warm a bit more, and mix well. When still warm, but stiff enough to handle, shape little balls with your hands. Decide how many roses you want to make; that many centres you need to shape first - they should look like pyramids with smooth edges (see picture). Other balls flatten into circles. Start sticking circles/petals to your rose base -press with your fingers. Put as many as you want. If becomes stiff, warm it in your microwave.
Best results are achieved with milk chocolate. White chocolate is most difficult to handle.





Cokoladne ruze

Potrebno:
100 gr cokolade
50 gr glukoza sirupa
(ili manje - odnos je uvijek 2 : 1)
Nacin:
Rastopite cokoladu: u ovoj fazi morate praviti listove, ako ih zelite imati - premazite listove ruze i ostavite da se stegnu.
U cokoladu dodajte glukozu, pa jos malo zagrijte - promijesajte i ostavite da se prohladi. Dok je jos toplo, oblikujte loptice velicine klikera. Od njih oblikujte onoliko centara za ruze, koliko ih zelite imati (vidi sliku). Od ostatka napravite latice - jednostavno ih razvucite (prstima ili necim valjkastim) u krugove. Pocnite stavljati laticu po laticu na osnovu ruze. Stisnite prstima pri dnu. Ako smjesa postane hladna i tvrda za oblikovanje, mozete blago podgrijati u mikrovalnoj.
Najbolje rezultate daje mlijecna cokolada; bijela je najteza za oblikovanje.
