First break out the 10 lb block of Guittard Dark Vanilla Chocolate - yum!

Then assemble your mise en place

Mousse on top and lightly on the sides

And VOILA!

Brookside Showpiece

Showpiece I did for Brookside HOA (Stockton) for their annual party.  The "Brookside B" logo came out great and they loved the super delicate framework.  I can't believe it made it on the 40 min drive to deliver without breaking!

Chocolate Rose

Hand formed rose with modeling chocolate.

Jackson Rancheria Centerpiece

Chocolate centerpiece I did for Jackson Rancheria Casino.

Free form chocolate

This 3D shape was formed by hand with tempered chocolate just before it set up.  Very hard to do and I'm not telling how I did it! lol    If you work with chocolate, you'll know this is tough!
