Updates, again....

I was embarrassed to see the date of my last post. It's been nearly a year since I've updated this poor blog.

I'm still making chocolates if I get requests from friends, relatives, my kids' friends or just for 'suka-suka'.

For those are have budget constraints, marshmallows can make stunning and tasty doorgifts too. 

'Halal' certificate for marshmallow

Okay, this certificate has expired.  I'd checked my supplier's homepage and thankfully there's a new certificate, expired in 2013.  For those who are uncertain of the 'halal'ness of these marshmallows, I'll be glad to give you the link to my supplier's homepage. :)

Updates

There are a few chocolate moulds that I have just purchased but have not yet tried out. Will update soon.

"Halal" Marshmallows

These marshmallows are 'halal'. Below are just some of the shapes available. There are 23 shapes for sale, but I've yet to try out each one. :-)

The price?

100g = RM5.00. Depending on the shape, there will be 30-35 pieces per 100g. Of course, the smaller the shape, the more lah kan? :-)

• Flower marshmallow
• Oval marshmallow (coated with sugar)
• Twist marshmallow
• Burger marshmallow
• Gummy combo marshmallow
  

I can also dip the top of each marshmallow and decorate it with chocolate rice, coloured chocolate rice, hundreds and thousands, little sugared stars, etc. The possibilities are endless.

Some examples of my choc-dipped marshmallows:-



The marshmallows can also be packed on a mix and match basis.

Interested? Just email me. :)

Info

I will start selling the following products:-

a) Chocolate-coated Munchys biscuits decorated with either colourful chocolate rice or hundreds and thousands or transfer sheets or accordingly to customer's preference.

b) 'Halal' marshmallows dipped in dark/milk/white chocolate and decorated the same way as the above.

Info

I only knew this last week, sigh....

The 6 techniques of making chocolate:-

1) Bar = the chocolate will be in a bar form, similar to the ones sold at shops.
2) Praline = chocolates with a nutty filling eg: almonds, hazels, walnuts, etc.
3) Truffle = chocolates with soft filling eg: mint, strawberry, etc.
4) Enrobed = anything eg: biscuits, marshmallows, etc that will be dipped in chocolate.
5) Splitter = chocolates mixed with something else eg: nuts, that will be dropped onto a tray.
6) Hollow figures = chocolates made using molds.

I am ashamed to know the correct terms only last week. I first learnt how to make chocolates on 16/4/2010 and only now I know the above info from an e-book. How embarrassing. All my chocolate terms are mixed up. :-(

Looks like I have to redefine the terms in my blog.....
