More fun!



Growing up in the 70's I got into using an airbrush with car paints. I'm still addicted to it so I got one to spray colored cocoa butter. I'm building a heating cabinet to keep it at the right temperature. I'm using a non programmable digital thermometer and a few light bulbs mounted in a small cabinet to keep a constant heat. The compressor is oil free and I'll be using double water traps to keep the air moisture free.

Valentines day is coming up soon so I ordered heart shape molds. They will be colored with the airbrush. The colors are really fun. I ordered some pearl colors to add to the solid colors I have. Egg molds will be ordered soon.
The next Valentines day adventure is chocolate covered cherries. It's a warm fondant that a cherry is dipped into then coated with chocolate or a shell filled with a cherry and fondant and capped. after 7-12 days the fondant liquefies.
