: For mice roll out tart dough, line barquette mold, fill with a little frangipane almond filling and bake.
What? I have had to go to my baking books to figure out what you said. :-) I did say I was a bread baker
: When cooled pipe a long teardrop shape body of coffee or choc buttercream on top and chill, when cold and set
: dip in tempered choc and insert 2 almonds for ears at the pointed end of the buttercream, the nuts pushing into the buttercream force it to bulge slightly which forms the face of the mouse, looks realistic.
: Just as the choc sets touch the top rear end with a finger and pull a tiny ribbon of choc off and let it drop just to the side, this is the tail.
: I came back from delivery yesterday and Mike had dipped them all by himself, he was SO proud.!
: I said "but they're DEAF " , he forgot to put the ears on.You shoulda seen his face. hahaha
Deaf thats funny. I would have liked to see his face. Your a mean man LOL
: A very dark fondant works good if you don't have a tempering machine.
: Plug the ice machine back in, its getting hot again.!
Yup It's fired up and running. Any SD over 30 qts gets iced. Next will be the pain au levain.
