Isn't she lovely?
Don't they look so happy congregating together on my blue kitchen counter?
Picture them in a gorgeous galvanized tin with black spots....got that?
Tedious does not begin to describe painting all of those details with very dark chocolate.
Painstaking does not do justice to the breath-holding required to get these JUST right.
I am a perfectionist, and I'm woman enough to admit it. If you can't do it right, it's just not worth doing. I saw these lollipops online for an astronomical price and decided right then and there that my child would have these lollies and I would make them for a fraction of the cost.
Yep, that was before I bought candy paint brushes, molds, wafers, more wafers, special dye for chocolate (can't use regular food coloring) and I forgot, more wafers.
But for now, I am basking in the glory of my 12 ladybug lovelies and thinking about tomorrow and the next day when I'll be making at least 24 more...Ahhh...
