A companion to my recent chocolate dome made for Valentine’s Day, these modeling chocolate roses and leaves are lifelike (enough), but also fast and easy. Make them the size shown in this video for the dome dessert, or scale them down for cookies or up for cakes! Made with real chocolate, they’re delicious too!

RELATED RECIPES:
Modeling Chocolate: http://www.juliausher.com/blog/more/white_modeling_chocolate (NOTE: Either real chocolate or candy melts/coating chocolate can be used in this recipe without changing the proportions. The only difference is that I don’t knead modeling chocolate made with candy melts/coating chocolate directly after mixing it; instead, I give it a good knead, or run it through the finest setting on my pasta machine, after about an hour or two of setting to make sure it sets completely smooth. Modeling chocolate made with candy melts/coating chocolate sets much more quickly than that made with real chocolate - i.e., it can be used within a few hours rather than after a few days. However, it tends to be tackier and requires more dusting with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.)
