One day, after we had finished making a chocolate log roll, Loraine was pondering how to add some decoration to it. She came up with the idea of making mushrooms from white chocolate ganache.
The mold we used had been sitting in a cupboard for quite some time and we are not sure exactly when or for what purpose we got it originally.
After a few unsuccessful attempts to get the white chocolate ganache to a suitable consistency for forming the mushroom caps, we finally hit on the correct combination of ingredients. However, that wasn't the only challenge, getting the white chocolate ganache to the correct moment of setting was very frustrating. We eventually placed the silicone mold with the white chocolate ganache in the freezer overnight and voilà it worked.
The next challenge was dry painting the mushroom caps with edible milk chocolate dusting powder.
