Homemade Lindt Lindor balls? Have any of you tried making Lindt Lindor balls at home? I love the strawberry and cream flavoured ones :in_love:, but the store has stopped selling them :cry:(It was a limited edition product). It would be great if I could make my own. If you have, how did they...

Finished product! Not bad for my first ganache. Mum loved it!:yum:

Worked great! Thanks! I had some ganache leftover and gave it a go for a darker colour and the consistency was only slightly softer. Pretty good for my first ganache.

Hi Aunt Bea, I'll be making white chocolate ganache and was wondering if liquid food colour (1-2 drops) would be ok and when to add it? I've been thinking about when to add it and my bestq m. bet would be to add it after taking the ganache out of the fridge oncedty the chocolate and cream...

Coconut cream weight If anyone knows now much 100ml of coconut cream weighs in grams could you let me know? Believe it or not, but I couldn't find scales in my mother's kitchen:ohmy:

Extract and zest in chocolate ganache? Thanks for the suggestion Longwind Of The North, but after having a cake come out as a mountain and a perfecting good looking cake break whilst fiddling on the cooling rack, I've thrown in the towel and went for the coconut cream when I went to the store...

Cake SOS I plan to use chocolate ganache as my 'glue' for my broken cake:glare: (the one on the left will probably be cut up and be had with tea). It's been on the cooling rack for about 45 minutes now so no likely chances of further damage, I think. Tomorrow is the big day and I will be...

Just refreshed the page. Thanks! :smile:

Would whipped cream do as a substitute for coconut cream to make the ganache on the second link Aunt Bea?

Substitute for coconut cream :yum: My mouth waters just looking at those pictures. Would you happen to know a substitute for coconut cream? I've looked up recipes to make it but I'm too inexperienced to trust myself to do it right on my mother's 50th birthday cake, especially as what would...

Tempered chocolate on a cake? My intention is to drizzle/ partially coat an orange cake with white chocolate. I'm not too sure what coverture chocolate is and I've got white Cadbury cooking chocolate to work with. The packet says creamy and smooth if that makes any difference. (For argument's...

Re-melting chocolate Hi candy experts Are there any wise precautions to take when re-melting chocolate? Particularly white chocolate? Ta

Ok, how about white chocolate without the nutty taste?

PrincessFiona60, what if I bake the orange as normal and pour orange/caramel tasting syrup into moderate to deep holes made with a skinny knife, and once that's had time to sink in, drizzled the cake with the nutty white chocolate. But is that too many flavours??

Too many flavours? Orange cake with a hint of caramel, drizzled with white chocolate that had been melted with a nutty tasting clarified (pure butterfat) butter? Does this sound like you would be able to taste each flavour, or end up with confused taste buds?

Orange cake batter with caramel mixed in? Awww...that lemon loaf looks yummy.:yum: For my orange cake I wish to give a hint of a caramel taste to it. I was thinking maybe making caramel over the stove, diluting/making it runny with a tablespoon of melted butter and mixing it into the batter...

Do you know if clarified butter will make melted chocolate seize or prevent it from setting? Since I can't have the chocolate inside the cake I want to drizzle it on top and I wish to get a bit artistic with it, swirls, lines and the like.

Choice of chocolate Mum can't have milk/dark chocolate because it gives her stomach pains. About my previous post; when should I pour the chocolate? Straight out of the oven or give it some cooling time first?

So a gravy jug (~100ml) will do fine? I've watched a few videos and they all used ladels so I thought that it was the best option.

What would you use if you didn't have a ladel?

Orange cake with white chocolate I'll a rookie in the kitchen and have been assigned as mum's cake baker for her birthday. I've chosen to do an orange cake and have this ambitious idea of somehow pouring melted white chocolate into the batter as it bakes. I don't mean pour the whole lot in...

Clarified butter for shortening substitute (melting chocolate)? Can clarified butter be used as shortening to make melted chocolate smoother and easier to spread? I have a tight budget so buying a block of Copha/Lard when I only need a bit for one cake doesn't really seem worth all that money...
