madeleine face

after reading an email from my friend deniz about how she'd like to buy a madeleine mold i realized i had still yet to buy one myself. madeleines are a shell shaped dense cake like petite four. so, with some birthday cash in hand i went over to a vintage cooking supply store and made the long overdue purchase.

the next week i baked a batch of madeleines and attempted to dress them in faces with tempered chocolate. custom caricature's on cookies was an idea i had been tossing around to friends and so i decided to give it a try. detailed lines are hard to obtain with the chocolate, but maybe after a few more batches experimenting in a couple varieties of cookie i'll have it down.
