Project Name & Page Link: Melted chocolate
Brief Description: Set chocolate is difficult to work with, but once melted, it becomes malleable and can be used to coat other food stuffs to create tasty treats. These were made for a Brownie session and I am joining them together into one class to meet the time guidance.
The breadsticks are coated in melted chocolate and then dipped in bronze coloured crunchie pieces
The crispie cakes are melted chocolate mixed with a little golden syrup and butter, with rice crispies mixed in, spooned into cases and left to set

Project Name & Page Link: Brioche
Brief Description: I adore Brioche, but every time I have baked it, something was not quite right, so not only is the outcome for me to enjoy, I am also (still) searching for the perfect recipe. This one was made with this recipe - https://www.africanbites.com/homemade-brioche-bread/ - but I will have to try it again to know for sure, as the yeast didn’t rise properly

Project Name & Page Link: Bauble ATCoins
Brief Description: These ATCoins are part of the Advent series for 2022. The 3d decoupage baubles took way longer than I expected, fussy cutting the various layers, layering them and adding glitter highlights. I kept the final coins quite simple, so the bauble would be the main feature. (I don’t believe anyone I swap with on Facebook is on here, but just in case, I am hiding the image.)
