Feeling a little gelty

My son came up with the idea, "Let’s use the Glowforge to make Chanukah gelt! (chocolate coins). He and his sister each designed one side.

Notes:

  • I don’t know how to temper chocolate, so it’s dully and scratchy instead of pretty and shiny
  • While I’ve cut and engraved chocolate directly before, rolling it into thin sheets is a pain & I wanted to try a different technique
  • First time I’ve ever used the silicone mold; it was effortless
  • I poured the chocolate into both sides, then just smushed them together
  • Instead of using trace, I took pictures of the original images on my phone and edited them in illustrator (DADDY YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE TOP SHORTER I MADE IT TOO LONG!)
  • It was delicious. :slight_smile:
