For the chocolate fans:

To make chocolate fans, pour a little melted chocolate on a clean dry marble surface.

This is done to cool the melted chocolate slightly and also to give shin
With light pressure, run the dough cutter down the chocolate layer. You simply want to scrape off a small layer, not cut into the chocolate. As you are creating your fan shape, you can use your free hand to guide the strip of chocolate into gentle folds, waves or a fan. Refer diagram 2.
If your hands are very warm and start melting the chocolate, use thin plastic gloves. Use for garnish as required.
