I am to the point where it is no longer cost effective to make my own modeling chocolate. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I can buy it pre-made, in bulk?

Thanks!

Making it not cost effective?? Have you looked at the price of it pre-made!?!?!?! I have searched high and low, and I make it for a TINY fraction of what it costs pre-made! Cheapest I have found it, $30 for 4lbs!! I can make about 5lbs for less than 10!!!

It's not cost effective in my time. I use so much, pre-made would actually save me money icon_wink.gif

What I do is I double, tripple the recipe, make it all at once, and its very fast and in my personal opinion, paying 4 times the amount is just not worth it! Seriously does not take me more than ten minutes to make a batch of any size, I pop mine in the freezer for quick cooling, or just make it a day ahead of time (while my cakes are in the oven!) What recipe are you using to make it?? If you don't mind me asking! Here is mine...super easy and fast

Charm City Cakes (now open in LA as well as Baltimore) uses the modeling chocolate from Chocolate Craft Kits (Chocolate Craft Colors) on the web. They have been using my product for two years now and will recommend it. You can call or email me to arrange wholesale pricing.

Yeah I talked to their reps at ICES. They are pricey (But VERY tasty), Just at quick looking im seeing $5-$6 per lb when ordering a large amount. This does not include shipping. So im weighing my options
