Chocolate showpiece

[akira24]

Hey people,

I have to do a chocolate showpiece for an upcoming competition and I need to know if using some laquer I bought will retard blooming. I work in a bakery so I have to make some pieces ahead of time and the temperatures in the workplace fluctuate quite a bit.

thanks

The laquer will protect to a certain degree, but if humidty gets to it, you'll get condensation beadng on it, and leaving spots when it dries. Anyway you can laquer the pieces and store them in an airtight rubbermaid container in the office?

Thanks fp , kinda figured it would be something like that.

Just wish I'd be able to plan everything out and do it the day of, but customers take precedence.

Hi

Just a quickie i know its a simple one but check in the rules that laquer is allowed in the rules as the judges might see it that you are using it to enhance the shine on your product. As i know that over here it is not allowed but am not sure under WACs rules



Hope you have fun and success
