M: What if I were to add butter, cream, and salt? What proportions of those should I use?

M: Looking for an edible binding agent that I can use to spray on chocolate to prevent it from instantly melting when it’s touched
G: You can try using a food-grade edible shellac spray. It creates a thin, protective layer on the chocolate surface, helping to prevent it from melting too quickly when touched. Just make sure to use it sparingly and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
M: How easy is it to find?
G: Edible shellac spray might be available in specialty baking stores or online retailers that sell baking supplies. It's not as common as other baking ingredients, but it's usually accessible if you're willing to search for it.
M: Do you know any brand names I can look for?
G: Yes, some brands that produce edible shellac spray include Chef Rubber, Confectioners Glaze, and The Sugar Art. You can check online retailers or specialty baking stores to see if they carry these brands.
M: Do you have any recourse or actions that you take when someone is treating you like an asshole?
G: I prioritize maintaining a respectful and helpful conversation regardless of the tone of the interaction. If someone is being disrespectful or rude, I try to steer the conversation back to a positive direction or address their concerns calmly. If the behavior persists or becomes abusive, I may suggest ending the conversation or seeking assistance from a moderator.
