Step

Orange discs
Crystallize orange cocoa butter.
Using a spray gun, apply a thin layer of orange colorant to a PVC foil.
When the layer is half-hardened, spread a small layer (1.5 mm) of crystallized white chocolate over it.
When the white chocolate is almost hardened, use smooth cookie cutters to shape discs of different diameters.
Place the whole foil between 2 sheets, turn over and leave to crystallize overnight in the fridge at 15°C.
Glue a milk chocolate Christmas tree to the larger discs. Decorate with gold glitter.
