Looks like a Vietnamese banh mi...complete with the cilantro and pickled carrots & radish.
Even got the boba drink in the back.

Nope, you're totally right. We were just talking about this Korean place here back in Atlanta and my brain totally ran with it while posting this.
This was Le Bakery in Biloxi.

I am a trained chocolatier. Maybe when I retire, I'll make a business out of it, but for now, I just do these for fun and give them away as fast as I can so I don't eat them all.
White chocolate pistachio gianduja with morello cherry compote in dark chocolate:
Apple cider caramel with Vanilla Cinnamon ganache in milk chocolate:
Mango Bellini (Mango jelly with a prosecco ganache) and Creme Brulee (Vanilla citrus ganache with burnt sugar flakes) both in white chocolate:

I don't normally have interest in "sweets" but those are awesome! They are not simple ingredients either. How is the top/cover created?

We can only pray! (I'd say "hope" but that isn't enough intensity)
If you really want something you'll find a way ... ... if you don't you'll find an excuse.
I'm really not a "kid" anymore ... but I haven't grown up yet either

Thanks all. I'll try to do a karma. The problem is shipping....it has to go expedited and if it's going to anywhere warm, it needs to be insulated and shipped with coldpaks. I just don't have the right packaging to make sure they arrive in good shape. I'll try to figure something out.
The shells are decorated with colored cocoa butter applied with different techniques: airbrush, paintbrush, sponge, fingers, etc. The work flow is to decorate the mold, then fill the molds with chocolate, then drain to create the hollow shell, ad the filling, then pour more chocolate on the mold to create the bottom of the bonbon. The chocolate contracts as it hardens (as long as it's well tempered), so you just turn the mold over and the candies fall out.This message has been edited. Last edited by: ChicagoSigMan,

ChicagoSigMan, those are impressive. Great work.
The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything.

No where near the art you guys put out, but this morning's breakfast. Pizza on the grill. (normally when the grill is my canvas, SPAM is my medium).

How about hospital food? Florida Hospital at Celebration. It actually wasn't bad, but when I saw the bill I realized those must have been 500 bucks a plate!
