In learning the art of bonbon making, I had the idea to make a box of chocolates called “Tea at the Museum” where each bonbon has a tea infused flavor inside, and the outside decorations are inspired by recognizable famous paintings. It’s fairly ambitious and will probably take me years to accomplish, but here is a trial run of The Starry Night.
I used some leftover dark chocolate for about half of them; the others are layered with jasmine green tea syrup, hazelnut praline ganache, and a hazelnut white chocolate crispy cookie. The recipes I used and some helpful info about tempering chocolate are linked below:
These chocolates look impeccable! Did you brush on each design? What type of coloring did you use?

Wow! These came out phenomenal. How did you paint them? Freehand? Whenever I try to freehand colored cocoa butter in polycarbonate molds the colors all tend to run together and end up looking like a dripping mess. Some of my peeps say they look like abstract graffiti lol
Great job regardless 👏🏻

So you painted cocoa butter with coloring and metallic inside a mold? Then made a shell then filled with gananch?
Ive had these once on a date years ago! And i tried recreating them last year and they turn out terrible!

Omg stop!! These are literally works of art! 🎨 I would feel so guilty eating something this beautiful… okay, who am I kidding, I would devour the whole tray immediately.
The shine is absolute perfection! You have serious talent, sweetie! Is that a dark chocolate ganache inside? It looks so silky smooth!

Wow I hope they taste as good as they look (which is amazing) 👏
And when Vincent was alive, I doubt he ever thought his work would inspire recipes and design 137 years into the future, if anyone needs any inspiration to create and share their work.
