Christmas Eve is drawing near, and with it my baking marathon is all but over. During the day I made two American carrot cakes (one of them in the picture) and a German Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte. I could write a word or two about them while digesting the Christmas ham.
In the meantime, here is a small decorating trick that I came across yesterday at Slashfood.
Recipe card
White Chocolate Snowflakes
You will need
| 100 g | white chocolate |
Method
- Break up the bar of chocolate and put the pieces into a freezer bag.
- Seal the bag and warm it in hot water until the chocolate has melted.
- Snip a small piece off one corner of the bag and pipe little stars onto baking parchment, as in the picture.
- Take them outdoors or put them in the fridge to set for a moment.
- Press them onto the frosting of a cake, say, as decorations.
Doughboy is now pressing on to wrap the presents!
