Equipment

  • Parchment paper
  • Piping bag
  • Spoon
  • paper towel roll
  • Wooden sticks
  • silicone pastry brush

Ingredients
  

  • 3.5 oz chocolate for Chocolate Lace
  • 2 oz raspberries for Chocolate Lace
  • 9 oz chocolate for Chocolate Skirt
  • sugar pearls for Chocolate Skirt
  • 5.5 oz milk or dark chocolate for Marbled Chocolate
  • 3 oz white chocolate for Marbled Chocolate
  • 17 oz white chocolate for Colorful Chocolate Design
  • food coloring for Colorful Chocolate Design

Instructions
 

  • Take a sheet of parchment paper and evenly cut one side like a crown, with the prongs facing out. Melt the chocolate in a water bath and pour into a piping bag. Pipe the chocolate in thin loops on the parchment paper. Let the chocolate cool, apply to the outside of the cake, and remove the paper. Garnish with raspberries for an added touch.
  • Pour large drops of melted chocolate on parchment paper in the shape of a wing, and use a spoon to smooth out the chocolate. Before the chocolate dries, quickly place the paper on a cardboard roll to create the special curve and wait for the chocolate to set. Remove the chocolate "wings" from the paper and use them to decorate your unique cake. Top with sugar pearls for a special look.
  • First place a large blob of melted brown chocolate on the parchment paper and then surround the dark part with melted white chocolate. Use a wooden stick to draw lines through the chocolate mass and let sit. Once the chocolate has hardened, place them on your cake.
  • Melt the white chocolate, divide it into separate bowls, and dye each bowl whatever color you want using food coloring. Use a silicone pastry brush to "paint" each color on a sheet of parchment paper and wait for it to harden. Take the remaining liquid colored chocolate and splatter it on the cake and then place the hardened colored chocolate slabs on the side for an artistic look.
