Pouch Style Packaging

Posted in: Uncategorized

Hi - just hoping that someone on here might know where I can purchase this style of packaging (photos attached). Basically it's like a plastic pouch with a paper lining in between two layers of plastic. The chocolate bar goes in the pouch side and the top folds over it. It reminds me of a tobacco pouch. Has anyone come across a manufacturer or a retailer who sell this type of packaging?

Thanks

Morello cherry ganache

Posted in: Recipes

Following! I am having the same trouble with just a chocolate/morello cherry ganache, while you can taste that 'something' is there, the flavor just isn't intense enough to recognise it. I thought I might try reducing the puree on stovetop to intensify the flavour?

Calum which manufacturer is doing your packaging? Im finding it really difficult to find anything on the net.

Transporting Delicate Chocolate

Posted in: Tech Help, Tips, Tricks, & Techniques

Hi everyone

Hoping for some tips and ideas on how to transport my Easter chocolates.

I'm having some professional shots done for my website and the photographer advised that chocolate will show up dust spots and any other marks really easily in photography. I'm going to need to pack my easter range and transport it in the car about 1.5 hr drive.

Has anyone done this before? What do you recommend to wrap/pack the chocolate in?

Thanks in advance!

Thank you Faranak. Have you tried this?

Using Metallic Powders and Alcohol

Hi Clay

That was my thought too but the manufacturer does not recommend mixing cocoa butter with this particular product. I just had another look at their online catalogue and it definitely says "by diluting with alcohol and apply it with a brush".

Using Metallic Powders and Alcohol

Posted in: Tech Help, Tips, Tricks, & Techniques

Hi! I'm looking at using some metallic powders (PCB brand) on my moulded chocolates. I know you can brush on after unmoulding the chocolate but there is also the option of mixing the powder with alcohol to spray or apply to the mould before filling with chocolate. What alcohol do you use to mix with the powder? Does anyone have experience with this?

Thank you in advance =)

Hi Jim

Did you get anywhere with this?

I am thinking along the same lines of buying a caramel cutter to use for ganache slabs.

I'm in the process of setting up my chocolate business in Sydney, Australia and am considering using one or a combination of these three brands. I would appreciate input and recommendations of couverture in these brands from those of you who have had experience using it.

Thanks in advance!

List of Equipment Required for Small Scale Chocolate Business

Posted in: Chocolate Education

Hi Larry

Do you use your caramel cutter for ganache slabs? I'm just starting up a little chocolate business myself and if possible would prefer to not shell out thousands on a guitar cutter if I can just use a caramel cutter.

Cheers
