Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before carefully peeling it away from the sheet. I like to use this technique to make abstract shapes for topping cupcakes—I love the added height and dramatic look it gives ordinary cupcakes. You can also use this technique to spell out words. Imagine how nice a cake would look with “Happy Birthday” spelled out in glossy, gorgeously decorated letters.
