Chocolate Decorations For Valentine's

I uploaded this recipe because there were no recipes for soft chocolate with details. This is a recipe that I learned at a cooking school. It is a recipe for the soft chocolate which pastry chefs use to make things like flowers and leaves to decorate cakes. I use this recipe often for birthday cakes, gifts or for Valentine's Day cake.
