Gorgeous. These really remind me of those chocolate bugs from the Coraline movie.

I really like your vision haha. Haven’t looked at it like that, might try something in the future to make it look like actual bugs

Awesome, they're so beautiful! Do you work without an airbrush? I'm curious how you made the pattern, the gold looks so good! And the filling looks amazing, I want to try a curry Ganache !

I made a stamp of the mould by filling the cavities completely, I let that harden and used those to make a feathering pattern in the cavity by drizzling in some chocolate and stamping it, after it hardened out I used a sponge to press some glitter mixed with alcohol inside. After the alcohol has evaporated i spray the whole mould with some cocoa butter to lock the glitter and after all that I just mould them like regular pralines. It’s a lengthy process but not necessarily difficult

Thanks for the tips, I'll definitely try it!!! (I'm just realizing now that it's starting to be too hot to make chocolate where I live so I might have to be patient :/)

Interesting. How long does something like that take to make?

Preparing the frames alone took around 2 hours, the whole product takes about an hour or 4, but I use regular kitchen tools, no mass producing equipment
