I have a groom's cake to do with MMF and I am wondering....can you add chocolate to MMF? I will be doing a chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream icing, but is there a way to make the MMF have a chocolate taste also? The MMF will be red in color - I am doing a GA Bulldog theme for it. TIA!!!

You can make choc. MMF. I add 1 oz melted chocolate and 1 tbsp cocoa powder to the basic recipe. (my "basic" recipe is 1- 16 oz bag of mini marshmallows, 2 tbsps water, 2 lbs powdered sugar) Recipes can differ somewhat on MMF, so just be sure that you add enough cocoa powder to keep the melted chocolate from making the MMF too sticky.

Thanks so much! That is the MMF recipe I use......do you think the chocolate will make the red look weird? Should I try white chocolate and add extra powdered sugar so it won't be sticky?

I think if you add regular chocolate to your MMF and try to tint it red, you're not going to get the bright red you're probably looking for. I would think you would get something on the lines of a red/brown almost burnt sienna perhaps. I think your idea of adding white chocolate and powdered sugar will probably give you a better red with a somewhat chocolate flavor (as white and dark/milk/semi choc don't have the same flavor).

GL!

I must have read right over the part about wanting it to be red, but I see it now. I agree with Barefoot_Contessa, the choc. would make for a deeper red, but the white chocolate would definitely work. I use it sometimes too...same 1 oz melted chocolate (white), but you'll probably have to play around with the amount of powdered sugar to add (sometimes I don't even need the extra powdered sugar--it acts differently than the cocoa powder for whatever reason).

Another idea would be to add chocolate flavoring (candy flavoring oil) to your regular fondant. I've never done this, but I know Lorann makes a chocolate flavoring. Haven't tasted it, so I don't know if it would really be any good, but that's a thought.

Good luck!
