"Dressed Up" Chocolate Dipped Strawberries (Bride and Groom)

The tuxedos would be perfect for Valentine's day and the bride and groom combination would be great for bridal showers or on a dessert platter at a wedding.
This idea appears on many websites including the Wilton website.
Do an image search of "tuxedo strawberries" and you will see what I mean.
Max is not much of a fruit eater (only apples and blueberries) but he gobbled down one of these and said it was good. Chocolate makes everything better!

can i melt the melters on the stove the same way i melt chocolate? (in a bowl over boiling water)

[yoyomax12]

@VampireKick yes you can :)

I use the same chocolate wafers from the bulk burn .. but when i melt them in the microwave they smell burnt? Is that normal? And they dont melt completely, it has little chips? :/ How do I do this..

[yoyomax12]

@thaoio You need to melt the wafers only at 50% power in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time, massaging the bag (or stirring the bowl) in between the intervals.

When I make these I put the strawberries on a skewer through the stem then when you have dipped them you place the skewer in a glass and the strawberry dosn't touch anything and get any flat marks. Then you can choose the best side to display and it is heaps less messy. Thank you for your wonderful decorating ideas you have inspired my daughter and myself on our cupcake decorating journey :)

@Teamlolly1 What a great idea! I was finding that when I put them down, the "best" side of the strawberry wasn't necessarily the one facing directly up

@Elya266 People eat gold leaf in fancy desserts and it is included in certain liqueurs. They are non-toxic.

@yoyomax12 By any chance, do they sell Silver Dragées in Bulk Barn?

Silver is very good for you! :) It helps with your immune system!

The big puddle underneath the strawberries is called a foot

[VampireKick]

@kinect911 trust me, everything i put in the microwave comes out either burned or smushed together into something thats not eatable :P

[kinect911]
