Ingredients
- 1 pack Dr. Oetker Giant Chocolate Stars
- 1 - Edible Gold Paint A little for decorating
- 1 - Gold Edible Lustre Spray Several sprays
- 2 tsp Mini Gold Scrolls From Cake Angels Sweetie Pie Tube
- 2 tsp Mini White Chocolate Stars From Cake Angels Sweetie Pie Tube
- 2 tsp Sprinkletti by Scrumptions
- 2 packets SuperValu Signature Tastes Belgian Chocolate Profiteroles
Method
1. Arrange the giant white chocolate stars in a single layer on a plate or board. Brush a little edible gold paint all over to add a little shimmer. Set aside to dry.
2. Cover the base of a serving plate or cake stand with a single layer of profiteroles as the base of the tower, then continue to build them up, carefully layering them on top of each other until the last one reaches a point at the top.
3. If liked, use a hairdryer on a low speed setting to melt the chocolate on each profiterole. This gives them a nice shine as well as ‘wetting’ the chocolate for the decorations to stick to. Working quickly, arrange the gold painted stars and milk chocolate stars in gaps all around the tower. Sprinkle the mini white chocolate stars, gold scrolls and ‘sprinkletti’ evenly all over the profiteroles to decorate. Pump puffs of the gold lustre spray all over. Present to the table with sparklers on top for even more of a wow effect if liked.
