1 cup   granulated sugar 1/4 cup   cocoa 1/4 cup   butter 1/4 cup   milk 1 teaspoon   vanilla Mix sugar, cocoa, butter and milk together. Over medium heat, bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute. Add vanilla. Cool partially, then beat with a mixer for 3 minutes or until spreadable consistency. This is not a fluffy kind of frosting that you use to decorate a cake. I did use it on the layer cake in the picture, but this is more of a icing that would go on a sheet cake. The mixture will harden some, but it definitely shouldn't be soupy. Be careful not to heat it over too high a heat, or the sugar will start to turn to candy, which will make the mixture grainy. Spread on the cake quickly and let it set until completely cooled. 

It's not a great picture, but this is my homemade Chocolate Buttercream Icing. It's an old recipe, but a goof proof one, which is good for me!!! It seems like a recipe gone bad after adding all the sugar. The icing is very dry, but after adding the milk, it whips right up into the perfect spreading consistency!  � cup solid vegetable shortening � cup (1stick) butter, softened � cup cocoa 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar (Powdered Sugar) 3-4 tablespoons milk In large bowl, cream shortening and butter with electric mixer. Add cocoa and vanilla. Gradually add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well on medium speed. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. When all sugar has been mixed in, icing will appear dry. Add milk and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy. Keep bowl covered with a damp cloth until ready to use. 

This recipe is pretty simple. I drink a big glass (16 oz.) every morning to help me feel full and satisfied. Drinking this along with two scrambled eggs for breakfast is great for the low carb diet and helps so much with hunger pains.  I honestly don't get hungry until two or three in the afternoon. 16 ounces of warm water ( I use tap water at it's warmest) 1 tsp. baking cocoa 1/2 tsp. pure Vanilla 2 Tbs. Heavy Whipping Cream Since I discovered the dangers of artificial sweeteners I don't add any and don't miss them, some people might like to add a packet or two. Stir these ingredients together and enjoy!

I am sure you would all agree that it would be wonderful to be able to sculpt something even close to this sculpture featured below.Unfortunately I'm a chocoholic not a chocolatier and I'm sure this would take many years of training and practice.Whilst I will  probably never produce anything like this I realize that without even the basic knowledge of chocolate I would have even less of a chance.I even thought that some people may even be afraid to work with chocolate so I decided to write a post trying to help people understand a little bit more about chocolate hopefully inspiring people to create some chocolate desserts and cakes and well basically anything with chocolate in it. So whilst  I can only aspire to create something like this sculpture I can carry on making some pretty nice chocolate dishes and I am sure you will be doing the same soon if not already.
