Chocolates Chocolates Chocolates....

this week is the Chocolate module week and i am so stuffed up with chocolates!!! chocolates at school, chocolates at work, chocolates at home. thus not surprising, i am kinda sick of it. though still not sick of working with chocolate. just sick of eating them =x

just so you do not hate me after reading what i am gonna blog about next, i must say i am not boasting or anything but just ermm saying? hehe.

since we are talking about chocolate in this post, one of the most important thing that a Chocolatier has to know is to temper chocolate. Tempering chocolate is a method done by heating, cooling and then heating up the chocolate in order to line up the chocolate molecules or atoms so that the chocolate structure becomes uniform when crystalized. With this process, the chocolate will snap when broken, look shiny and hardens at room temperature.

and now to start of with what you might think that i am boasting which i am absolutely not not not... tempering chocolate has always been good for me. i never had much problem with it since the very 1st time i temper them which i think was in the last few lessons during Basic? i guess chocolates and i are just fated, maybe i should marry to someone chocolaty at least like chef C always says 'Chocolate doesnt lie only students lie.' keke.. ok kinda nonsensical talk over here.

though tempering has not been much problem, my chocolate piping design has not improved much. neither has my flooding of chocolate moulds, sealing of it and production of chocolate bon bons been any good.

i had snapped lotsa pretty pictures taken in class :) as i had talked about earlier, we had chocolate module this week and it's by chef N. soooooo much fun i tell you. relaxing, happy, awesomely enjoyable.

These pretty truffles and sables were done during tech class by Chef C

These were done by me except the gold one on the bottom right.

 and these were done by everyone in class... :)

will upload the pictures later as i have a lot of more important work to do. that includes filling up at least 60% of my portfolio today. yes i know it might sound a little too overly ambitious. but i don't care! i know i can do it :P i need to go grocery shopping, do up laundry (just left hanging of the laundry), clean up of my room (which i did it already..keke) and yes i know half the day is gone...oh and to watch new K-drama 'The Empress' hehe...

just to remind myself of my priorities:
1. portfolio
2. be nice
3. slim down (kinda tough with the piles of chocolate just beside me)
4. increase water intake
5. rest more
6. plan for future :)
