Choosing fruits and chocolate
For glazing, fruits and berries with a dense texture that do not have seeds are most often chosen. Large fruits are cut into beautiful slices. The secret is that the fruits or their pieces are not too small. It is desirable that the fruits have a bright sweet or sour taste. Fresh fruits are not so tasty.
Usually on the buffet tables are strawberries, slices of oranges, apples and pears, segments of pineapples, slices of bananas. Sometimes chocolate covers more unusual fruits: cherries, carambola, grapes, gooseberries. If the berry has branches or sepals, they can be left, the dessert will look even more beautiful.
