White chocolate hieroglyphic discs, boxes for chocolate


Ib, a heart, a cow heart not a human heart, F-34, Parts of Mammals and not D Parts of Human body. It is a determinative sign meaning an actual heart and also meaning mind, will, desire, mood, wish. It looks like a vase with handles and with a lid. 

I must make little gift boxes. 

A new design just for this white chocolate.










The butter is melted, the temperature attained, this is seed chocolate placed in at the end as the mass begins cooling. It gives the liquid a structure to start the process of molecule formation during cooling. Otherwise it's an out of temper disorganized mess that goes melty too easily. It cannot hold its shape at room temperature without organized crystalline structure.

These are my earliest molds when I hadn't a clue what I was doing.

I carved the images myself in positive relief and glued them onto proper candy wafers except made of plaster instead of chocolate, squares and discs. Then created eight of each and then created a negative food-safe silicon mold of all eight together in a set. The second set came out a lot better.



Chipotle smoked jalapeño pepper powder sprinkled into a few of the molds. The heat is not bad at all. It changes the cocoa butter slightly and then the faint smokey heat lingers forever.







Cocoa powder eye. "Ir", in that language. D-4 Parts of the Human body.




Most are blank cocoa butter. Red ones have chipotle powder, black ones have cocoa powder. There is a red one in each box.
