Enter the Dragon



The largest mold I have is a dragon, that was made in Italy specifically for the Chinese Year of the Dragon.  But why use it for just that?  Dragons are too much fun to just take off the shelf every 12 years.  This dragon weighs in at 4+ ounces, and easily makes an entire meal  can be shared between 6 people.  While it takes a long time to paint these by hand and airbrush, they sure are a lot of fun to do.  Lately I've been filling them with a ganache that has PopRocks© in it.  Dragons are supposed to sizzle, after all.
