What Type Of Chocolate Do You Use?
Decorating By BamaSweets Updated 12 Apr 2006 , 4:32pm by ShyannAutumn
I am wanting to try chocolate art such as white chocolate bunnies on my Easter cake for this weekend. What type of chocolate do I use? What do I spread it on in order to cut things out? How do I mold it into certain shapes?
Any advice is greatly appreciated. 
Thanks

I know that some of the Wilton yrbks have a recipe for the choc clay made withtheir candy melts.
If you have the 2004 book it is on pg. 112 in the bottom right hand corner.
2005 book is on pg 112 also on the right side in the blue strip.
HTH. Good luck

Thanks.
I didn't even think to look in my Wilton Yearbooks.

I would have never thought that I could use the candy melts to mold. Thanks again.

Bama, here is a photo of something I made with the chocolate Ghirardelli like ceculsk, PennySue said. This is all chocolate, including the picture frame that I molded myself. It's easy to work with and comes out of the molds beautifully. If you work on larger pieces, such as this, warm hands tend to make a mess on your piece. Since I didn't have a marble slab to keep the chocolate cool I place a large cookie sheet in the freezer for a few moment, removed it, placed parchment paper in the bottom then poured the chocolate in the cookie sheet. I was then able to cut the chocolate canvas to the size I needed. It was easy. You should be able to do the same with your cut outs. If the chocolate seems to be too soft before cutting out just place it back into the freezer for a few moments to cool down again. You shouldn't have a problem with it.
As for the frame....how to do that is a whole different story.
Although this isn't a cake, this was a replacement cake for my chocoholic grandmother on her 87th birtday.
