We’ve started doing showpieces on request. The three shown here are for a wedding coming up this weekend. These are my first attempts, and I’m pretty happy with the results. Your comments are much appreciated, especially if you are a chocolatier.

The egg is amazing! I’m an artist and now trying my hand at chocolate sculpture. What is the secret to making the chocolate shiny? What chocolate do you use?

You need a high cocoa butter content in your chocolate, proper crystallization (temper) and clean molds. I use an Ecuadorian chocolate made here locall, not a brand currently available in the US.
