Finally, after 10 days we made our first really rich and delicious chocolate cake! We actually made two chocolate cakes. They were very cute and only 6 inches in diameter. We filled them with chocolate ganache and covered them with a chocolate glaze. Finally we used modeling chocolate to start making chocolate roses. We were a little rushed because we were running a bit over time, but I think the roses turned out pretty well. I also attached a picture of my first rose in Paris, I've certainly come a long way! The last picture is of the marzipan rose I made for my Alhambra at Cordon Bleu. I think this rose is the prettiest, so I'm hoping to improve my modeling chocolate skills soon.

Thanks for reading and Bon Appetit!
Can you eat modeling chocolate? It looks yummy, but I was not sure how tasty it is. Is the flavor the same as regular chocolate? Beautiful rose, BTW!
