:unsure: :worried: :shock:

In the velvet darkness
Of the blackest night
Burning bright,
There's a guiding star...

I've got no idea what you're saying. I'm very tired and I think I lack food. :3_eyes: :lol: But I'd love me some tiny chocolate tartlets in bright colors. :D

Started with the yellow ones.
Colour is nowhere near as bright as it is on the packet! Way to make children cynical you meanies.

But they turned out okay.
Good enough for me to decide to make the other colours this afternoon. I might even mix some purple ones.
And I'm thinking about colouring the white chocolate for the centre. The well is so small on some of them, that you'll barely get a taste, so I might as well make them look as visually arresting as possible.

Pics to follow.
Taking a break to give the 'rents access to the kitchen for lunch.

You are, indeed, my sister from another mister.

Oh I like that!

I like that a lot. I always liked 'brother from another mother'. That's really cool.

Have you sucessfully coloured chocolate before? I've found it doesn't work too well -oil and water effect- ...just a heads up, hope it works better for you.

I have coloured chocolate before, but I do remember the result being a little... grainy, colourwise. As luck would have it I decided to use the red candy chips instead. I guess that explains why the chips come in so many colours too...

Anyway.
I had fun making them, which was the important part.

As they are made from dough, the consistency is a little off. Compressed cake or soft biscuit. Still, I'll make proper biscuits if I make them again - making them out of Fun Dough was killing two birds with one stone.

The cutter worked well once I had it sussed out.
Practice was needed!
Oh, and you will see that trying to mix red and blue dough did not make purple. It made sinister. Still, someone will eat them.

As they were cooling on a rack on the kitchen table I heard a shout from Mum. Bloody Diz had jumped up, snagged one (taking another with him) and was eating it in the corner of the kitchen. Bad cat. Cats don't eat cakies!

Still, from what we could tell he only had one from the far end, so I professed the rest fit to eat. Well, what they don't see won't harm them, right? Ahem.

I had a little trouble in filling the wells. In the end I used a syringe (one with measurements up to 25ml for small quantities of cooking ingredients). It's not really supposed to be used for something this thick, but it sufficed. And I'm glad I decided to do them all red too. It was quite a bit of faffing about.

They are currently sat on top of the fridge/ freezer where monkey-face can't see them.
Once the centres harden I'll put them in a tin. Off to school tomorrow.

They look great! I'm sure they'll be snapped up like, er, well, hot cakes!!!

They look wonderful! I love the bright colors.

They were pretty much all left at the end of lunchtime.
I think it's because I didn't label them - people probably thought they were left over from Christmas!

I love your creativity, Sundae. I'm more the traditional type - which doesn't mean I don't adapt recipes to what I've got. - I used to bake a lot, a heritage from my grandmother. Here's a shot of what I did for last months Christmas (and what's left of it)

Attachment 36488

top left: cinnamon stars (based on almonds, sugar, eggwhite and, guess what, cinnamon)
top right: vanilla boughs (hazelnut, sugar, butter dipped in vanilla sugar)
bottom centre: bear's paws (almonds, chocolate, sugar, eggwhite)
bottom left & right: butter S (a bit like short cake)

What a shame!

Sundae: Awwwwwwwwwww.....what a pity.

Scriveyn: Your cookies look great!

Scriv those all look delicious.
And yes, very traditional, which means tried and tested of course.

The above looks like Christmas card!
