Generate a filling

Scene 1 — What filling do you want to create?

You'll see a grid of five family cards. Each card shows the name, a short description, the number of available types, and a piping-bag illustration that animates when you hover over it. The praliné family carries a New badge.

• Ganache — creamy emulsion of couverture, dairy and flavor.
• Soft caramel — pipeable caramel, the useful format for bonbon fillings.
• Pâte de fruit — fruit jelly with pectin, acid and purée.
• Praliné & gianduja — a continuous, anhydrous fat system (no free water), with a long shelf life.
• Truffle — an emulsion of cream and couverture, firmer than a cut ganache, meant to be hand-rolled and coated.

If you tap a single-subtype family, the wizard selects it and jumps straight to the next scene (no need to press "Next"). If a family had several types, some chips would appear to pick the specific subtype.

At the bottom there's a shortcut, Quick formulation, which starts from a default configuration (ganache · one flavor · 1 kg) and drops you on the flavors scene with everything else already resolved.

Scene 2 — How many flavors will your filling have?

Here you choose the flavor profile structure, from four options:

• One flavor — a single flavor that defines the filling.
• Two flavors — a primary plus a secondary that modulates it.
• One flavor + accent — a primary plus an aromatic or contrasting touch.
• Two flavors + accent — primary, secondary and accent.

Below the cards there's a panel What role does each flavor play? (expanded) that explains the three roles: the primary defines the character; the secondary modulates or lifts it; the accent adds an aromatic or contrasting touch in a small dose. If you later switch to a structure with fewer slots and you'd already chosen flavors that would be left out, the wizard asks for confirmation before discarding them.

Scene 3 — Pick your flavors

You define the flavors according to the structure you chose:

• Primary flavor (required) — what the customer notices first.
• Secondary flavor (if your structure includes it) — modulates or lifts the primary.
• Accent (if your structure includes it) — an aromatic touch (vanilla, tonka, orange blossom) or a contrast (salt, acid, heat); the engine sets the dose based on the family.
• Additional notes (optional) — qualitative cues for the engine (intensity, context, references), up to 200 characters. For example "Boost acidity" or "alcohol-free".

Each picker opens a search box with the full list of flavor families. Type to filter or tap a family to see its options; when you choose a flavor, the field closes and shows a chip with a Change link and an X to remove it. The same flavor can't repeat across two levels. If your structure didn't include an accent, you can add it right here without going back to the previous scene.

To understand when to use each level, read Flavors: primary, secondary and accent.

Scene 4 — How much do you need?

Define the weight and, if you want, some constraints.

• Total weight — choose one of the presets (500 g, 1 kg, 2 kg, 5 kg) or tap Other to type a value. The accepted range is 50 to 50,000 g and the default is 1000 g (the base formulas are designed for 1 kg).
• Advanced constraints (optional) — they come collapsed; expand them with the toggle:
  • Diet — four checkboxes: Vegan, Gluten-free, Lactose-free and No refined sugar.
  • Min cocoa % — minimum cocoa percentage; for example, 60 for a 60% ganache.
  • Max water % — maximum water percentage, to force denser textures.

Scene 5 — Review and create

You'll see a summary of everything you've chosen. Each row has a pencil that takes you back to the corresponding scene to adjust.
