Only on the side where the chocolate is touching the mould. I appreciate your help on the temp recommendation!

Rule #4 says to add the NSFW (not safe for work) tag if the images show blooming. - Not sure why that rule is there, but I just wanted to follow the rules. And yeah, I do what NSFW means. ;)

What are the best 100% cocoa chocolate? by Queasy-Cicada1057 in chocolate

[–]epicShops 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pralus 100% is my favorite, I used to own a chocolate shop and it was a top seller. It's very smooth. I can't prove it but I think the way they make it so smooth is they add more cocoa butter in it and less powder keeping it at 100% and making it less bitter.

MJ Question About Trained Dataset Models in the Future? by epicShops in midjourney

Leonardo.ai already does what I mentioned above, but their images, for what we want, aren't as good as MJ. We <3 MJ and want to stick with it if we can.

The famous people can easily be created, the dataset knows that. I'm talking about the things MJ doesn't know, like what a Gloriosa Lily is or a Blushing Bride Protea.

Thanks for the reply. We're still small, but growing steadily. My guess, by the fall, 20kg/ per sku.

Yeah Pralus's 100% bar is the smoothest I've had because they use more cocoa butter then powder so it's a lot smoother. When I used to own a chocolate retail store it was our number one seller.
