Firstly thanks to Lucy who found this KKC option on Gumtree. Beryl Visagie at www.mothercitycakery.co.za not only creates beautiful cakes but also offers a workshop for beginners in chocolate work. Once you know how to fold a wax cone, piping decorations can be a lot of fun but it takes lots of practice – ask all those ladies that were licking the chocolate off their fingers. There is nothing like a creatively placed swirl, curl, butterfly, heart or drizzle of chocolate to elevate an everyday dessert to gourmet status. We made chocolate cups using plastic moulds and paintbrushes. Once set we filled them with chocolate mousse or Nutella. Our chocolate piping added an impressive finishing touch to the mousse and a drizzle of chocolate added a nice flair to the Nutella cups. Making the chocolate truffles was easy and can be done with simple ingredients. It was quite messy on the hands but the end result was scrumptious. We dipped the truffles into the melted chocolate with a bent fork – don’t use your best cutlery for this….. We took our masterpieces home in beautifully decorated boxes.
