A couple of tips on the cacao. Cacao butter should not be deodorized. This means it should have a slight chocolate smell to it so when you buy it in the packet and it's in cacao butter drops they are normally deodorized, so be mindful of that. If you are in Australia and wondering where to buy cacao butter, you can get it from Source Bulk Foods online or in-store.
