Hi zhengyi xing.
Welcome to the Scoolinary community!
To create the top decoration for the tart, a thin sheet of white chocolate is used, worked with a stencil and airbrushing technique.
The process is as follows:
1. Preparing the white chocolate sheet
Temper the white chocolate and spread it over an acetate sheet or silicone mat in a thin, even layer.
Before it fully hardens, cut a circle to the desired size.
Once crystallized, cut the circle into a half-moon shape so it fits the decoration.
2. Creating the lemon segment effect
Use an acetate sheet or a stencil with the segmented lemon pattern.
Place the stencil over the chocolate sheet.
Using a chocolate spray gun, spray white chocolate tinted yellow over the stencil, ensuring the pattern is well-defined.
3. Assembly and placement
Carefully remove the stencil.
Allow the airbrushed chocolate to dry and fully crystallize before handling.
Place the decoration on the tart, using a bit of tempered chocolate if needed to secure it.
This technique ensures a clean and professional finish, enhancing the visual effect of the lemon.
Best regards!
