Chocolate For Garnishing
Place squares or bars of unsweetened, semisweet, or milk chocolate on cutting board; sheared it into small pieces with paring knife
Then, place sheared chocolate in a cup and microwave it for 30 seconds or double boil it until it melts, stirring frequently with rubber spatula until smooth. Be careful not to get any water into chocolate. Remove cup from saucepan. Let chocolate cool slightly.
Fill plastic bag about half full with melted chocolate and cut off very tiny corner of bag with scissors.
Gently squeeze bag and pipe chocolate in a steady flow onto sheet of waxed paper, making a variety of small shapes. Stop squeezing and then lift bag at end of each shape. Create flowers, hearts or any lacy pattern.
Let stand in cool, dry place until chocolate is firm. Do not chill in refrigerator. When chocolate is firm, gently peel shapes off waxed paper. Store shapes in cool, dry place until ready to use.Garnish as desired.
