AI made cakepops and covered them in melted candy melts. I wanted to add details to them but can't seem to figure out how to paint on them...it seems to bead. I've tried several different ways and nothing. Ideas?

ABakerella uses edible ink markers/pens. I have never tried it but she seems to have good luck with them.

Thanks! I'll have to pick some up and try.

You can also paint with colored chocolate thinned with shortening. It won't come off unless you scrape it off.

I actually tried that :) it worked, so I think I'll stick with that unless I just have extra money one day for pens Thanks!

I'm all about not making an extra trip to the store!

I need to Paint the hair color on Dora....and maybe her skin...she came out too dark...so my daughter says...and the hair is the same color as the skin...and not black like it should be.....

Can I just use the candy color and a paint brush?...do I add anything, will it ruin my image??? HELP....

Just noticed that almost 1yr later I never posted the "painted Dora to make her lighter in color" so here she is....you can see the difference.....thanks all!!!
