In the end they still had a slight curve, but the pilot client assured me that wings are never straight anyway! It was hard to get a decent photo due to the appalling wallpaper! photo here...

Once you have spread the chocolate flat and it has started to set cover with plastic and put some weight on top and leave to set fully this will stop it from curling

good luck

I've accepted a commission for chocolate bi-planes and I'm experimenting with the best way to achieve nice flat wings with good shine. I'm currently spreading tempered choc onto pre-cut acetate to create the shapes I need, but they have a tendancy to curl slightly as they dry.
Can anyone enlighten me on the best way to get a really flat piece.
Thanks.
