The Chocolate Addict's Top Picks for a Quick Fix

I've scoured the Fanciful site, to bring you some of my top picks, just to give you a taste of the offerings. Even if you've shopped at Fancyflours in the past, go back, because I'll tell ya what, new eye candy is being added all the time.

cookie with wafer paper


Also known as rice paper, is an edible starch based food product used to decorate cakes, cookies and I've also used it for chocolate which yields a similar result to using a transfer sheet ( kind of ).  I imagine you can do so many creative things with wafer paper, and I intend to do some serious experimenting in the future, and when I do, you'll be the first to hear about it !.

Fancy Flours has a grand selection of wafer paper including some darling vintage designs. Some of my faves are Alice in Wonderland, Birdcages, Chinese New Year , Birthday Cake ( above ), vintage seed packets, and Halloween postcard designs ( see my Halloween Video ).

A chocolate transfer sheet is piece of clear acetate paper with a design printed in edible cocoa butter, if you've been hangin' with me for any amount of time, you know how I love to use these, for chocolate dessert cups and making chocolate decorations for dessert garnishes, chocolate transfer sheets can also be used for cake and cupcake decorating and they are so fun and easy to use. 

In fact, chocolate transfers are the topic of my upcoming instructional DVD. Fancyflours has a grand selection of transfer sheets galore. And guess what? the chocolate transfer page is where you'll find my current DVD "The Chocolate Garden" :)

SUGAR CAKE JEWELS: 
I use sugar cake jewels to decorate chocolate dessert cups and for anything I want to add a little sparkle to, which is just about everything. I usually crush them first because I like them jagged.

CHOCOLATE DOLLS :
Sweet gift idea... I mean really, how darn cute are these chocolate Kokeshi and Matryoshka Dolls? I just want to bite their little heads off !

Chocolate Geisha, I made this one !

Candy and Cupcake Boxes:
Love the circus theme on these charming candy boxes, great for cookies and confections. And what about a fussy cupcake house? every cupcake deserves one of these.

CANDIED FLOWERS :
All edible, these flowers would look great on a chocolate bar ( add when the chocolate is melted ), cupcake, or adorned atop a cake. They are SO pretty and look stunning with chocolate decorations such as butterflies and leaves, and really add a colorful touch ( with  chocolate ). The Pansies are my favorite, although they also have roses.

CUPCAKE LINERS ( wrappers ? ) :
Are cupcakes taking over the world? well, I know one thing, they have never looked so good. I love these elegant black and white liners and delicate filigree designs for dressing up cupcakes,  or flip upside down and wear as a mini hat ! you'll be amazed by the versatility !

Fancy has fun tutorials on the website that will inspire you for days, weeks, even years, and seriously, you will want just about everything you see ( including my chocolate DVD which is also available, so pick up a copy while you're at it ). Fancy must have a team of highly trained, full-time fanciers scouting the planet looking for the best and most unique decorating accoutrements known to man. You'll also want to be sure to get on the mailing list to receive the snail mail order catalog filled with gorgeous photography and terrific ideas.
