 While
the design you saw being created in Making
Chocolate Easter Eggs with Jean François Houdré
was beautiful, it's just the beginning of what this imaginative
culinary wizard can do. Below are some egg designs that are completely
different.
The white chocolate egg is a modern, abstract design.
The hardest part about that one, says Jean François, was
making the delicate white chocolate ribbons that adorn the egg.
The chocolate egg decorated with the beautifully
painted children's scene was not made in a mold at all. Jean François
dipped an inflated balloon into tempered chocolate to give the
egg its shape. "Sometimes, you have to make do with what
you have," he laughs. We think the improvisation is spectacular!
The flat Easter Bunny below is also made entirely
out of chocolate, using a method that Jean François says
isn't too difficult, even for relative beginners. To make it,
he placed a sheet of clear plastic or acetate over a coloring
book design, and used tempered, colored chocolates to color in
the the entire rabbit, outlining in dark chocolate as a final
step. After letting it harden, he was left with a colorful design
that can be used to decorate a cake, or fill an Easter basket.
