I'm planning to make my first ever bakery dish for Christmas as a surprise to my family. Do you have decorations that might look funny, cute or maybe something other for a food decoration. I couldn't find any good tiny anime figures, so my best bet are these cats.

For cakes I like using leaves brushed with chocolate.

Wash some green leaves (preferably something non toxic), dry, chill in fridge, brush with melted chocolate, chill again, peel the leaf from the chocolate.

How easy is it to accidentally break the chocolate leaf, while pulling it off from the actual leaf?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I have actually never broken one. Peel the leaf from the chocolate, not the other way round. The darker the chocolate the more brittle it will be I think. As long as the leaves aren't huge I don't think you will have a problem.

I never knew giraffes were hiding spiral cakes in their neck.

Meringue mushrooms go great on a yule log

Marzipan and a bit of food dye will let you make all sorts of stuff. Forming marzipan is more or less like using Play-Do.
