Edible Art!

We had a great group today for our “Painting with Chocolate” class.  This is a seasonal favorite…Easter (and Valentine’s Day of course) are the holidays of chocolate!  Today we created reverse paintings using some print making techniques. First the students prepared the base painting with pigments and coconut oil as well as some extruded chocolate lines. Then, the white chocolate was spread over the base. Once cooled, the painting is revealed by flipping and removing the wax paper. Additional surface techniques are then applied. We used extruded chocolate lines, metallic powders, and carving techniques to finish our pieces.  Beautiful and delicious – art never tasted so good!
