The Chocolate Leaves!!

So, its another one of my cousins annual parties. That year, I wanted to do something really unique and different; something that I had not tried before. I came up with the idea of doing chocolate leaves?!?!?!? AMBITIOUS right! I know. Well, I got the idea when I was in my garden picking the oranges. I saw the leaves particularly the shape and size of them. I thought to my self, GENIUS. I picked a few leaves and washed them nicely as I was feeding people. So, I first spread a little oil so the chocolate would not stick to the leaves. Then, I melted chocolate and paint brushed on so it one would apply cleanly and two it would give a nice texture to the chocolate. I put them in the freezer for a quick harden and when I peeled the leaves off the chocolate was really nicely textured and looked like a leave but, it was edible!!

For the frosting I believe it was regular homemade butter cream on butter cake all from scratch. YUM!!
