A First For Me!

Hi it's Kim... This is my first ever blog... yay! and what better place to start than my home from home Copper.
My Adventures In Petit Fours!
on the rare occasion I am let loose in Neils kitchen it is to make petit fours, so last week I went into unknown territory and attempted to make Turkish delight, this seemed really easy in theory, I stole Sarah's lemon jellies in chocolate idea and ran with the ball!
rose water+lemon juice+sugar+water+gelatin+red coloring=Turkish delight..... No!
the first two attempts were nothing more than wishy washy ectoplasm-ish goo, but, not be defeated I tried again and came up with a delicious fragrant jelly. Brilliant.
And so to covering them in chocolate... Easy Peasy.
the next afternoon feeling all smuggy bear in my achievements I decided to try them out on my first customers... And upon opening the box I discovered a box of mutant sweaty dark chocolates... Just a box of damp looking blobs.
Into the bin and back to the drawing board.
