Hello,

Can anyone help me with this chocolate Lacy Heart that holds chocolate items, as well?

Take a look here. If you go to L'artiste du chocolat, you will see it.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Scott

Don't know if you noticed, but this forum is for professionals only.
Given that, the lacy heart you mentioned, pictured here:L'artiste du chocolat - Choix is simply tempered chocolate piped into a heart shaped chocolate mold.

Chef Talk is only for professional chefs? 

I see that 1) this post is in the section that is supposedly for non-pros and 2) although it may have been moved, the poster only has 2 posts and, being new to the forum, could make a mistake.  I don't see an indication that the post was moved, however.

Scott,

To make the lacy hearts - use a chocolate that is very viscous when tempered - they don't work as well with a couverature that you'd use to make nice thin shells. 

Pipe overlapping circles, and make sure that you reinforce the edge.  Running a finger along the edge helps with that.  Don't bang the mold to get them out, wait until they have fully separated from the mold then just coax them out with your fingers. 

There will be a fair number of broken ones for each good one!
