Creating the chocolate sail
Step 2 :
Slowly melt chocolate buttons in the microwave , stirring every 30 seconds until completely melted . Spoon the chocolate on to the baking paper , ensuring it measures around 10cm in height . Shake your baking paper until the chocolate settles and there are no spoon marks .
Step 4 :
Remove the paper from the chocolate sail and flip it over so that the crumpled texture can be seen . Make a paint by combining lustre dust and rose spirit . Roughly paint the sail so that some of the chocolate can still be seen , mimicking the crackle effect on the geometric shapes .
Step 1 :
Take a piece of baking paper , scrunch it into a ball and open it up again . Lay it flat on a baking tray .
Step 3 :
Arrange your chocolate sail by manipulating the paper and setting with pegs . Keep in mind that the sail will be flipped over when it is dry . Allow to set completely in the fridge .
Step 5 :
Press your chocolate sail down in to the top of your cake , securing with a little melted chocolate .
