| Fantasy food for equestrians (of course it involves chocolate!) Posted: 24 Oct 2010 12:53 PM PDT Imagine you have been tasked with developing gourmet confections and baked goods with horse themes for a) humans and b) horses. What would you do? Someone I know is musing on this and here are the ideas I had for her... - Haybale. Petit fours, slightly oversized and oblong, coated with toasted coconut to look like hay bales, with icing or licorice twine.
- Grain bucket. Tiny milk chocolate buckets filled with granola that's been lightly pulsed in the food processor.
- Jolly Balls. Milk chocolate jolly-balls filled with liqueur.
- Hoofprints in the snow. White meringe cookies (snow) with a hoofprint made of oreo crumbles stamped on top.
- Mineral salt block (himalayan). Made with rock candy!
- Swedish fish-style curry combs. Think gummy bear curry combs.
Obviously those are for humans. For horses I'm drawing a blank, I'm thinking of a takeoff on the traditional sugar cube, pressing the sugar (maybe with a little maple?) into shapes of carrots and apples, maybe airbrushed with color. What ideas do you have?  |
