Hi Scott! That has happened to me more times than I care to remember! There are a couple of things I look out for now. I make sure the chocolate has fully hardened. Sometimes there might be a small spot that has not fully dried and it sticks to the bauble and breaks away when the bauble is opened. Also, I like to add a bit of extra chocolate to make sure the chocolate shell is not too thin and fragile. Finally, I will let it dry for longer and when I bring it out of the fridge, I will let it sit for a few minutes before I open the bauble. I really hope these tips help. Good luck with the next one and thanks for watching. I would love to see a pic if you decide to give it another go :-)

These baubles are so pretty & timely since Xmas is on its way AGAIN!!😩 hehe! A SUPER idea for them would be to cover them in your mirror glaze ? ( I just watched your red lego video) I think they'd look really beautiful....Luv your channel 🙂
How much chocolate do you need for how much people (let's say 4persons) to make them each a Christmas sphere? And how much mousse is going in one? I tried to find it but can't find the measures anywhere!
Hi Rowena, this particular video was more of a demo of technique rather than a recipe. For 4 people, 400-500g of chocolate should be enough. With the mousse, I have a few recipes in other videos. This one is for dark chocolate but it can also be done with white chocolate and then colored and flavored ua-cam.com/video/Bxj9DQEIoUc/v-deo.html :-)
You can use the same method I have used in the following video, but change the dark chocolate for white chocolate melts/buttons and add some some pink gel colour ua-cam.com/video/fL7WMRyTtpI/v-deo.html :-)
I'm so sorry to hear that :-( They can be a tricky thing to make. I also have had a lot crack. The chocolate needs to be tempered OR you can use Nestle’s Bakers Melts which is what I use or Candy Melts. Once the chocolate has been added, the bauble closed up and the chocolate evenly spread, I like to twist/rotate the two halves to free the seams from any residue chocolate. Before you open them, have a good look at the bauble to make sure the chocolate has fully pulled away from the plastic before you attempt to open it. It also helps if the coating isn’t too thin. Good luck ! :-)
You can use any kind of mousse you like. I have a delicious Red Velvet Mousse on my channel and a lovely Chocolate Mousse as well. A video for the strawberry mousse recipe is currently in the making. :-)
First attempt couldnt get the bauble out, then it split in half, 1 side almost perfect the other side wouldnt come out at all :( putting less chocolate in for attempt No.2
Unfortunately or" fortunate " i have learned to make millions designs of chocolate and even to a non unimaginable level .. My quick mind in designs is quite something 😂
It should come out in one whole piece. Sounds like you need to let it set for longer. If you look at the bauble, you will see that the chocolate has pulled away from the sides when it is ready. If it is stick in some patches let it set for longer. Also, you will need to use tempered chocolate. If you don't want to temper it, then you can use Nestle's Dark Chocolate Melts :-)
Thank you... I will try it again, but i left them in the fridge for almost 1 1/2 hour. It was tempered and not warm :-) Do you put something in the melted chocolate or is it only chocolate ?
By looking at your work makes me feel so peaceful and romantic! 👍😊
What a lovely response! :-)

Thanks

What size bauble do you use and how many of these will 100g of chocolate make?
I used an 8cm Bauble. You will probably only get 2 from 100g :-)
Once made , can they be frozen? And if so for how long before using
where did yoi get the clear ball from ty
I got it on EBay by searching for "clear plastic Christmas bauble" :-)
Thank you for your tutorials! It's great!🎉 Please tell me, the chocolate would be tempered or not, just melted? Thank for answer😊😊😊
Елена Лавриненко definitely tempered or you can use compound.
Cupcake Savvy's Kitchen Thank you🌹

+stylzies Thank you and thanks for watching! :-)
I assume this is tempered dark chocolates. Could one use candy melts for this? I really suck at tempering.
I'm not a fan of the tempering process either! I like to use Nestle's Dark Bakers Melts...no tempering needed! ;-)
I watched it on one breath. Probably not gonna make it but really enjoyed the video and music. Thank you. :)
Pixie Love I know what you mean! Lol
So beautiful ! I want to try it this christmas ! Stupid question but, did the decos taste like vodka when you eat it ?
No they didn't taste like vodka :-) You can use lemon extract if you prefer :-)
Sindy Petitjean
The vodka evaporates but the flavor or coloring remains.
Cool
Thank you! :-)
아름다워요 So beautiful ♡
+Core_+ Thank you! :-)
I loved this and ran right out to purchase plastic balls. I had a devil of a time getting them to release and they all broke. Any suggestions?

How do you get the chocolate baubles out of the balls in one piece or in two pieces ?
My chocolate was stucked in the ball
It should come out in one whole piece. Sounds like you need to let it set for longer. If you look at the bauble, you will see that the chocolate has pulled away from the sides when it is ready. If it is stick in some patches let it set for longer. Also, you will need to use tempered chocolate. If you don't want to temper it, then you can use Nestle's Dark Chocolate Melts :-)
Thank you... I will try it again, but i left them in the fridge for almost 1 1/2 hour.
It was tempered and not warm :-)
Do you put something in the melted chocolate or is it only chocolate ?
