I would scream for joy if l turned out something like that Brittney. They look like water colours. I'm just starting my chocolate journey and gathering tools. I really like the video you put up about tools of the trade, very easy to go all out. I do have these heart moulds ... My gosh these are stunning young lady. WELL DONE 😊❤
Oh thanks so much!! You can definitely make these! They are so pretty and easy to do once you have an airbrush! And they all turn out different so that makes them fun! So glad you’re liking the videos! 💓
An amazing job. Your approach to sharing information is much appreciated. It's relaxed, it's easy to follow. So as I gradually, acquire the materials and equipment required, I'll keep watching. Thanks!
Gorgeous! I don't have an airbrush yet, but wondering about my hairdryer set to "cool" I will play and report back! Used several of your videos for this Valentine's bonbon batch. THANK you so much for your love and time that go into these detailed videos! You help so many of us!
I love the enthusiasm to experiment with what you have, that's the spirit! I'd love you to let me know how it goes! May need to turn it up to high speed! : ) I'm so happy you've enjoyed my videos, thank you! So happy to have you 💓
@@BrittneeKay you are such a great teacher and I really appreciate it given your background film clip. Question: I earlier asked you about using the soft brush instead of spray gun for solid colors. I purchased the one you recommended in Amazon..bought your spray gun too but a bit much for now.. do you think is doable? Suggestions? Thanks.
Callebaut chocolate is the best! A little more pricey but worth it. If you haven't tried their RB1- Ruby Chocolate.... you've got to! Thanks for a great video. 🥰
I love Callebaut! Yes! I have a video dedicated to Ruby, you should check it out! : ) It's one of my favorite projects, I think you'll like it! Plus it's on theme for Valentine's Day! 💖 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mqLudzYPkU4.html
These are some of the most beautiful chocolates I've ever seen! You have so many great ideas and I'm always impressed with your creativity! Thanks for sharing your ideas with us.
I love watching your channel. Your energy and sense of humor are enjoyable and your content is great for my learning needs. I do have a question as relatively new to working with chocolate. How do you know when you have the proper amount of chocolate in your mold. I hear a lot of people saying not too much and not too little which is different for a newbie wanting to progress from dipped to molds. Thanks!
Thanks so much!! Great question, it is hard to answer through a reply but I’ll try 😄 You’ll get the feel for the thickness when you tap out your molds through practice, but before that a good thing to look for is that your shells be around 1/16” I’d say. It’s hard for me to say how thick they are by measurement but once you shell your bonbons and scrape the mold take a look inside and see how thick they are. If they’re too thick you can tap out more. Just go by eye, you want them thin enough to not overpower the filling but thick enough to be structurally sound and protect the inside and also give a nice crunch when you bite!
When I think of running my small business, I am constantly seeking efficiency so I can save as much time and energy as possible. Can one pre-make their colored cocoa butter and store in the proper refrigeration for future use?
Sure! Do you mean after they’re done? I store mine in my wine cooler! It is around 57 F. You can store in a normal fridge but the humidity can make them a bit dull unless you pack them well (as airtight as possible) 🙂🙂
Hmmm so far I haven’t been able to tell a difference. I don’t taste it at all, unless sometimes when I do a fully hand painted design. Just because of the process the cocoa butter can just end up a little bit thicker than airbrush, but it isn’t a bad taste just a taste. 😄
@@BrittneeKay, I really don’t like the taste of the Chef Rubber white or Princess Pink. Have you tried I Shud Koko. I’m thinking of at least trying his white.
Just a general questions: I'm going to try using Ghirardelli baking chips for the 1st time, I wanted to confirm some things. I'll still need to temper it if I want a shine & snap,is that right? If I don't I'll assume it'll be softer than when I used chips also. Are they considered couverture chocolate? Thanks for your help
The short answer: I would not make bonbons using baking chips :) They aren't couverture and aren't formulated for this purpose. You can try using compound chocolate for bonbons, but do not mix it with cocoa butter. If you want the best bonbons use couverture chocolate :) Then long answer: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g1G9u7HmVTc.html Highly recommend watching this, I think it will answer a lot of your questions! : )
@BrittneeKay Thank you very much. I live in MT so my access to some things is quite limited when you don't know what you're looking for or even doing for that matter.+a big 👍🏽for your prompt reply.
Obvious follow up question: any brand recommendations for the beginning melter? Any place I could purchase it physically would be 150 or 200 miles away so the internet will have to help & I'd prefer not to just guess.
My recommendation would be to browse BakeDeco, that is where I buy most of my chocolate supplies. My chocolate melting tank is actually from an Australian company, long story, so I can't recommend it. Also...if you're really just getting started I would recommend buying a heat gun, immersion blender, and a couple nice propylene bowls for tempering. Chocolate warmers are expensive and not necessary unless you want to make hundreds of bonbons at a time.

Nothing! Properly tempered cocoa butter and chocolate will shine when molded against a shiny surface. In this case I decorated a polished heart mold with tempered cocoa butter and so it comes out shiny. Check out more videos to learn more about cocoa butter, tempering chocolate, and how to mold! 💞
