Decorations

Colouring

Colouring of hollow figures with powders through plugging

Preparation

Needed:

  • moulds for pralines or hollow figures
  • fat soluble pigments 
  • white chocolate 
  • brush

Step by step

1. Sprinkle different powder colours in the moulds. 1

2. Temper white chocolate and pour a small quantity into the mould. 2

3. With the brush, dip the white chocolate through the pigments in the parts of the mould where you want the colour effect to reach. 3 4

4. Allow to harden until these layers feel dry to the touch. Scrape any remaining chocolate from the sides of the mould.

5. Continue with moulding. White chocolate, of course, is recommended because that gives the most attractive outcome with these colouring effects. You'll find more details on the moulding/pouring process itself at: Moulding/pouring hollow figures. 5

Tip: You can replace the coloured pigments with cocoa powder or cinnamon powder.

Basically all Carma Couverture are suitable for decorations.
