Last class of candies

Last night in our chocolate class, we did our last candies. We used caramel and ganache that were poured into frames and then cut into squares. We dipped them in chocolate and decorated the tops.

I enjoyed making acetate transfer sheets for my chocolates, but they are tricky. Maybe with some practice I could get them right. In the picture, you can see that I didn't get the transfer sheet with the L on it pressed down enough, so the top looks funny.

And as always, our teacher kept the best candies to show off to the the other faculty, so these aren't quite right. Some of them have "feet" sticking out, and other imperfections. But overall, I'm extremely proud of them!

Clockwise from the top left, there is a caramel decorated with a dipping fork, a ganache center with a handpainted transfer sheet decoration, another caramel with a sprinkle of Fleur de Sel (a sea salt that is also in the caramels) and another ganache decorated with a transfer sheet.
