Pierce R. Butler@#2: The dairy ingredients must come from Shub-Niggurath, the Goat of the Black Woods with a Thousand Young.
I’ve never milked a goat, let alone an N-dimensional grumpy goat like Shubkins. Are you sure it’s a good idea?

It’s a terrible idea, which is why everyone is looking forward to you posting about it.

I’m not sure about this but I don’t think carving chocolate is a good idea. I cannot think of any chocolatier I have met (not a lot admittedly) who carved chocolate.
I’ve never milked a goat but it does not sound all that hard. StilI I’d start out with a regular one before moving to Shub-Niggurath. The final post should be interesting, indeed.
I wasn’t clear. The idea would be to make an original in sculpey, then drop a silicone mold from that, pour chocolate in the silicone. Just like I do with the soaps. Most chocolate molds are metal, so they can use a cool steel mold and rotationally cast chocolate into it, to get the proper bunny-shape. I want to make solid chulhus out of white chocolate with a bit of green added…

Oh, I think I vaguely grasp the idea now. I don’t know anything about the method but it sounds sensible (well to an ignoramous)
We are still waiting with bated breath for the reports on the goat milking.

Hahahaha – now you will get a million comments that say, “Who will be eaten first?”
I had been wondering why you needed a sculptor. Now I know. Cthocolates are a very good reason.

Otherwise, you-know-whom will surely wax quite wroth(er).

I’m also looking to make a lawn-cthulhu statue. Because why not?

I haven’t tried. If I stop posting and this blog gets deleted, you’ll know I did.
