Making white chocolate curls


Well this is a first post of the many elements that I did for a wedding Sat May 8. It was a all white{color} wedding. The bride wanted 5 types of cupcakes one I decided on was a chocolate cupcake with white chocolate frosting topped with white chocolate shaving garnish.
I have a no big deal attitude when it come to something that I have never done before. I figure there is enough info on the web to stir me in the right direction..then it will be a trial and error from then on out. So I melted down white chocolate {which is harder to work with then regular "real"chocolate}poured it on the back of a cookie sheetand let it cool for only 10+ minutes. The first time I was using a garnish comb which made the shavings way too small. So I redid the process and used a high quality cheese slicer {Better Cheddar $15}. Much better! I think if I did this with regular chocolate it would curl more evenly.
