Chocolate Sphere<\/h3>\n

Finally it’s here… the chocolate sphere tutorial from the top of the instagram cake. \u00a0Now some of you thought I’d filmed it at the same time as making the instagram cake, and that would have been smart, but I actually didn’t, hence the delay.<\/p>\n

My two year old just dropped his day-time nap. \u00a0Re-read that statement with a tired but slightly panic-stricken tone. \u00a0Those one to two hours were a very productive part of my day.<\/p>\n

Alone time and what I call ‘head space’ is vital for any humans sanity. With a two year old even going to the toilet is a group activity. \u00a0The great thing about having older boys is I know that this crazy two year old season will pass all too quickly as will the cute little things he says like ‘I like donut with binkles’.<\/p>\n

Onto the chocolate sphere, you will need at least 200g (7.05 ounces) of tempered chocolate, if you can’t be bothered tempering you must use fake chocolate. \u00a0Please take the time to read this post on tempering and what chocolate to use<\/a>, it will save you from having a sphere that will melt at room temperature!<\/p>\n

You will also need a \u00a0hemisphere mold<\/a>\u00a0either in silicone or plastic\u00a0(I’ve added a link to where I got mine from). \u00a0Something metal and round like the back of a piping tip, a metal pen casing or a cannoli tube.<\/p>\n
