Laundries are works of art in small

Sometimes the greatest masterpieces are hidden in the smallest things, because they require the greatest precision and attention to detail. The same goes for chocolates or pralines. The saying that life is like a box of chocolates, where you never know what you are going to get, has long been true. With every praline we reach for today, we have expectations that a good maker is sure to meet - we want what the look promises and we don''t like surprises.

What should the composition of the praline be?

Chocolate candies or pralines should be the size of one bite. The flavour of the ''shell'' or outer layer should complement the inner layer, where we have a lot of choice. The inside can be completely hard, soft or foamy, filled with a liquid cream, drink or beverage, jelly, etc. A multitude of textures and flavours can be combined, but the general rule is to combine different flavours in solid fillings (for example, orange and almond pieces), and to go for single flavours more often than not in liquid fillings - except in the case of cocktail pralines, where familiar flavour combinations are combined, for example, whisky and quince, or rum and coconut.

Have you ever wished you could create your own candy? And why is it so important to have a variety of pralines?

Do you want to know which flavours are the trendiest? Some people swear by the classics and don''t need to innovate. Those "old" fillings that we have known for decades are still favourites for many. Cherry with alcohol and hazelnut cream are classics. Later, exotic flavours such as mango came to the fore, and in recent years there have been more flavours that are considered authentically homemade - flavours from the home garden. For example, currant-flavoured filling is common.

What should a praline look like?

The best quality pralines are handmade. Since we eat with our eyes first and foremost, the appearance must be attractive, which is ensured by the shape of the praline itself, its colour (a combination of different chocolates and colouring agents) and the various additions (sprinkles, almonds, candied orange peel, gold leaf, etc.). When the praline is put into a box or candy box, it is important to ensure that it is varied and colourful, which is even more appealing when it is put into a box or candy box. Each praline should be different and therefore unique. When the box is opened, the offer should be breathtaking!

Praline is chocolate in its most sophisticated form

Pralines are like high fashion compared to traditional chocolates compared to clothes from the local shop. If we often reach for a bar of chocolate casually and it''s something quite mundane for us, pralines are a sign of a special occasion. Because they are tiny, individual chocolates, each one in the box being something special, they are often used as a gift on holidays when we want to show our love, affection or gratitude. The choice of design can also say a lot.

Did you know that the most prestigious pralines have paintings created with mini brushes that look like works of art? I guess it''s like the goat with high-fashion dresses: we don''t know whether to use them (eat or wear them) or just look at them.

Make your own candy!

The rise of small boutiquechocolatiers and shops specialising in chocolate products from all over the world has brought us a luxury of flavours in the form of tiny chocolate pieces. The shapes that immediately take us over and the flavours that delight us have been carefully selected, and the best thing about them is that we can choose them ourselves. Would you like a confectionery with pralines to suit your taste? You can order one just like it: you get to choose what goes in the box!

Now do you see why it is not true that with a box of chocolates we never know what we are going to get? A box of chocolates delivers exactly what you want. And if we could say that life is like a box of chocolates, because we get exactly what we want, that would be really great.
