hey everyone it's James from funfoods and today I'm gonna show you how to make this
chocolate strawberry rose bouquet which is perfect for Valentine's Day so keep
watching and I'll show you step by step how to make this. now I got this idea
from Maribel TV YouTube channel I'm gonna put a link in the description
below to her channel go check her out she makes some amazing stuff so you
definitely want to check it out and you'll see the video that I got this
idea from I'm gonna make it more of a specific to Valentine's Day but you can
do this any time of the year really the first thing we need to do is start out
with some white and pink candy melts if you don't have pink candy melts you can
just use white and then put some food coloring a little touch of red food
coloring into it and mix it up and it'll turn pink but make sure you use gel
based not water-based food coloring now let's melt these down all right so now
both of my white and pink candy melts are melted and what we're gonna do now
is dip in our strawberries I've already washed and cleaned my strawberries so
what I'm gonna do is just take this large wooden skewer and take a
strawberry right dip the wooden skewer will first go with pink and then stick
it through the strawberry right in the middle and try to get it not quite to
the end but pretty close and there we go now I'll just take this and you can set
this on some foam some styrofoam like this
to let it firm up after it's firmed up to the stick nicely this way it won't
fall off when we dip it we're just gonna take this and dip it into our candy
melts and try to dip as much as possible I like to just pull back the green part
so I can dip as much dip it in get good coverage
tap off the excess and put it back on our styrofoam to firm up now some of
these I want solid white some of them I'm gonna use some sprinkles I have some
pink hearts on here now these we have to add right when it's wet so I'm gonna
stick this one in dip it tap off the excess and then I like to hold a plate
over top of it and just pour out our little pink hearts
put that out to dry and also have some pink sprinkles I'm going to use so do
the same step
and for the pink is gonna do it the same way
and to decorate these I have some non Perry owls I'm just gonna pour these
over
there we go another way to do this is I have some coconut shreds pour that on
there
and when they're all dipped up just go ahead and let them dry now what we're
gonna do is add some of our pink candy melts to a piping bag you don't need a
lot for this but here we go and now we're going to take our strawberries
that we dipped in the white candy melts just make sure they're dry and we're
just going to draw lines on it pink lines
and you can do the same thing with the pink ones and the white icing just have
white candy melts not icing
so now what I've done was melted down some more candy mouths now this is a
darker pink than the pink we used for our strawberries but what we're gonna do
here is I also have a mold this is a candy mold and it's a heart-shaped candy
mold it's really designed for lollipops but I'm taking a skewer because my
skewer is so big I have to tape it to keep it underneath so that it'll hold
into the chocolate so that's all I'm doing is just taking my skewers putting
it in there so it covers most of the where the candy is gonna be getting it
all set up
so stay in place and we're just gonna take our melted candy melts our pink
dark pink and their heart shape so fill it up and just tap this down and it'll
even out and just let this dry okay so when our heart lollipops are all done we
can just take the tape off and pop them out there we go have a nice little
design on the front you don't have to have that design if you don't want it's
just the ones mine came with next we're going to take some plastic wrap shrink
wrap here
and I'm gonna lay it out and then I'm gonna grab about four of our
strawberries different colors different designs on them and bunch them together
so let's start off with one pink one we'll get one with the little hearts on
it a white one with sprinkles and maybe a pink one with the little balls on
there then you can also take a heart and put there as well
might be better if we lay it on the table itself and then just take our
plastic wrap and we want to wrap it nice and tight around it to hold them in
place
and I purposely want the heart to be a little higher than the rest of the
strawberries
so now what we're going to do is try to put it all together and what I have here
is some tissue paper that is heart-shaped that's really Valentine's
themed and I just have white and also these
hearts and now we're gonna try to put all these together as one great big
bouquet and that's gonna be the hard part so you can kind of just kind of
squeeze them together a little bit and have them go above have them go above
the paper a bit should look something like this which looks pretty good
you can adjust things as you need take some more plastic wrap and we just want
to wrap this up nice and tight
and then put it around our paper
actually only need one of these
I have a nice little bow here
use that to tie it
now this is the perfect Valentine's Day gift everyone would love it
