Method
For the brownie

Grease and line a 150mm. (6”) diameter shallow, microwave safe bowl and keep aside.
Sift the flour, baking powder and baking soda and keep aside.
In a microwave safe bowl, add the chocolate pieces and microwave on high for 1 minute. Remove and stir lightly to get a smooth mixture. Keep aside.
Place the butter and castor sugar in another bowl and stir with a wooden spoon till the mixture is soft and creamy.
Add the melted chocolate to the butter mixture and mix lightly.
Add the curds, vanilla essence, flour mixture and walnuts and mix lightly.
Pour the batter into the greased and lined dish and microwave on high for 3 minutes.
Reduce the temperature to 70% and microwave for another 1 minute. Remove and keep aside.
Cut the cake into 8 equal rectangular pieces. Keep aside.

For the white chocolate cage

Blow the balloons to a medium size and tie a knot. Wash the balloons and gently dry them with a kitchen towel. Keep aside.
Put the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute 30 seconds or till the chocolate is well melted, while stirring once in between after every 30 seconds.
Fill the plastic disposable piping bag with the melted chocolate and fold the top end of the piping bag to seal it. Snip a bit off the tip to get a tiny hole for the piping to come out.
Make a criss-cross design on the dome side of one balloon with the melted chocolate from the piping bag. This criss-cross design should only be on half of the balloons as to form a dome shaped cage.
Place the balloon in a glass with a know side facing down.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 to make 7 more cages.
Refrigerate all the balloons for 30 minutes.
Once set, remove the balloons from the refrigerator and burst each balloon from knot end using a needle.
Discard the balloon and the cage is ready.
Keep it refrigerated till ready to be used.
