      Gold and Blue Surprise Box

      Box made entirely in dark chocolate in shades of blue and gold with a decorative golden bow also in dark chocolate.

      When we open it we find a chocolate box made of milk chocolate with wood effect and decorated with chocolate leaves.

      The box is filled with hand-painted chocolates, made of dark chocolate and with a double filling. On one side we have a spiced orange marmalade and on the other side a chocolate and orange ganache.

      Under the bonboniere we discover a Mascarpone semifreddo (made with cream, mascarpone, sugar, vanilla paste and gelatin) with a vanilla sponge base (eggs, sugar, flour, milk, sunflower oil, yeast and vanilla paste)

      Techniques: pattern making, painting of acetate, textured plate and molds with cocoa butter-based paint and liposoluble dyes and gold metallic powder coloring, tempering, assembly and polishing of the chocolate pieces. Preparation of the sponge cake, preparation of the Semifreddo by whipping the cream with the cheese and sugar to which we add the hydrated gelatine,

      Coating of the bonbon mold, elaboration of fillings, dosing of the fillings and sealing of the bonbons with chocolate.

        This is absolutely stunning! ✨ That chocolate box looks more like a jewelry piece than a dessert. The gold bow alone is a masterpiece. And then inside, those hand-painted bonbons with double filling? Pure luxury. The fact that there’s even a hidden semifreddo underneath makes it feel like opening gift after gift. Honestly, this could be in a showcase at a fine pâtisserie. Incredible work dear Mercedes!

        Estoy de acuerdo con Lana, esta caja es una joya. Un trabajo maravilloso en el que parece no han tocado manos. Cada detalle que describes es más increíble que el anterior. Seria el regalo perfecto de Reyes para alguien amante al chocolate, aunque sinceramente no sé si seria capaz de comerme esta obra maestra. Mi enhorabuena Mercedes. 👏👏👏

        ¡Hola Mer! 🎁 ¡Sabía que no podías quedarte afuera de este Reto! Este trabajo es una verdadera declaración de amor al chocolate. Cada imagen revela dedicación, destreza y una sensibilidad estética impecable.
        El efecto cuero en la caja, los brillos metalizados, la precisión de los moldes y esa bombonera con doble sorpresa… ¡es una coreografía dulce y elegante! Las fotos acompañan genial el relato técnico, y cada plano suma para contar la historia del plato. ¿Cuál fue la parte más divertida (¡o desafiante!) para ti: el diseño exterior o los rellenos?
        Si te apetece, comparte tu Caja Sorpresa en tus historias y etiquétanos. ¡Esto merece aplauso de pie! 👏✨
