These are the steps it took to make this modeling chocolate rose in culinary school. The steps make it we scaled it into 5-inch balls, shaped the pedals and then attached them to each other and then air brushed them with red. It was so fun to get to be creative and make this. And we did this on marble because it is cold and makes the chocolate harden.

Then serve with sliced crepe.
