Ganache to Decorate

Ingredients

• 500 grams of semi-sweet chocolate
• 200 grams of cream
• 15 grams of cake emulsifier

Preparation Mode

1. Prepare the water bath.
2. Combine the chocolate with the cream.
3. Stir lightly in a water bath until well dissolved.
4. Wait for it to cool and add the emulsifier.
5. Beat with a mixer until smooth.

Mom Tips

Always use good quality chocolate.

Do not use fractionated chocolate (covering), so that the flavor of your ganache is not compromised.

The ideal is to use fresh cream, as its high fat content, approximately 35%, will guarantee shine.

The emulsifier gives stability and firmness to the ganache.

Excellent for decorating cupcakes.

3. Glue a circle of baking paper onto the flower support with the ganache itself.
4. With the pearl nozzle, make a small ball in the center of the support.

Mom Tips

While making the flowers, if the ganache hardens, place it in the microwave for approximately 8 seconds.

Roses can be used as decorations for cakes, pies, or simply placed in paper cups.

In confectionery stores/culinary stores you will find the materials for making the flower.
