Chocolate decorations

Chocolate decorations is a general term for various decorative elements made from chocolate, used to adorn cakes, cupcakes, pralines, and other confectionery. They include figures, spirals, shards, lettering, and simple drops of tempered chocolate. They are made by hand or industrially from dark, milk, or white chocolate. Proper tempering is essential for a glossy finish and a delicate, crisp texture. These decorations give desserts a professional appearance and are popular with home bakers and professional pastry chefs alike.
