This was my attempt to make Easter chicks in nests.
As mentioned on another thread, I had to use a different type of cooking chocolate. It ended up far thinner than the one I am used to. My fault - I should have checked the wrapper beforehand.
So I had a major panic that the choc coating would not set (it did). Which made me skimp on the coating, in the hope it would eventually dry (it did). Which meant the brown of the cake showed through the yellow choc, and apparently gave it a slightly green tint.
Two people identified the chicks as frogs.
I need a better beak if I make them again.
I also didn't add the choc "Spagetti" to the nests, because of my fear that I might have to bin the lot. I think that would have suggested the nest more, and played down the frog aspect.
Funny thing is, I received so many compliments on the taste this time. Just when I'd decided not to do the fiddly stuff any more because the large cakes get the most approval after eating.
Here 'tis:
