The beginnings... (Oct. 01 - 2010)

One year ago I made my first attempt to make flowers using chocolate paste. I had no experience, no training, no tools, but I thought to give it a try... What's the worst thing that can happen? Should the flowers turn out "wilted", I can melt the chocolate paste and use it inside a cake, so... no loss, no harm done!
To my surprise, the flowers turned out great. Well..., maybe not great but definitely good looking enough to give me the courage to try more things!
These are the first roses I made using chocolate paste:
The tablespoon was used as a size reference.
The leaves are real, not made with chocolate paste.
A couple of days later I put them on a cake covered with whipped cream. Too bad I did not take any pictures before transporting the cake to my brother! By the time I got there, the whipped cream was sliding off the cake... It was tasty though.
