Thought I'd share my 1st candy clay pieces.

Juleebug, you did a great job with this "cake" The egg looks so real as do the pancakes, and the bacon looks great too. Love the piece of butter on top of the pancakes. 
I too fell in love with candy clay. Tasted sooooo much better than fondant or gum paste! I found it really easy to work with. If it starts to stiffen rolling in your hands brings it right back to a workable consistency. Yesterday I read some suggestions on here about the tootsie rolls and starburst and I can't wait to try those aswell, sounds like they would be really YUMMY! Especially for a kiddie cake.
That cake was sooo cool! I especially loved the bacon, awesomeness BTW, love your signature, got a good laugh from that one 
Congrats!!! It does feel good, like you've arrived right? lol, back in January I actually had like 3 of mine make it, I just about hit the floor!!
Not pathetic! Just wish I had done the same!

It felt great! Especially since I made this for my hubby who originally wanted a treasure chest but I COULD NOT find gold foil chocolate coins ANYWHERE. I worried that I had made a poor substitute because it seemed like such a simple cake.
BTW, if I ever had 3 on there, they'd be scraping me off the ceiling!
The recipe I use is good for 3 weeks, after that it's still workable but a little more crumbly and the taste is not as good.
Does this dry rock hard or will it still have a little softness to it to where you can bite into it?
How does it taste on a cookie?
It will dry hard, but not rock hard. I'm trying to think of a good comparison, it's kind of like fudge. I haven't tried it on a cookie yet but I'd like to, lol, it's on my to-do list
i just have to let everyone know that this stuff is the best. I always liked the MMF but I think the candy clay has it beat. I used the Almond Bark with mine and it turned out great. I will be keeping this recipe for sure. Now I need to use it on a cookie..lol.. thanks for sharing.
Could you cover a cake with it? And if I let it site overnight, do I need to cover it with anything?
I personally haven't tried covering a cake with it but I know some people have. Yeah, you can leave it out overnight without any problems.
I haven't read this whole thread yet, but have any of you tried JenniferMI's pearl clay?? That stuff is a DREAM to work with!! I'm probably her biggest fan of this recipe. It's a little different than modeling clay but basically the same thing. (Hard to explain without giving away trade secrets.) Anyway, you might consider that option too. Hope that helps! 
I haven't heard of that before. Is it a recipe or something you buy?
It's a recipe on her "Fun with Fondant Frills" DVD. Which is my favorite fondant DVD lately too. (You couldn't tell that though, could you??)
That is soooo cute!!! I love it! What did you brush on it?
I covered a little cake in it with no problems. I LOVE this stuff!!!!!!
Pearl, that is too cute!!

Pearl, that is too cute. Love your packaging!
TomsMom, how thin did you roll it to cover your cake? How hard did it get rolled thinner? I didn't try anything except figures and I loved working with it for that. My kids loved the taste and I'm sure they would love a cake covered in it. Thanks.
