how do you "wrap" cake in chocolate and do these designs. its obviously not just plain melted chocolate cuz it would snap and break so what do they do to make it pliable and be able to pick it up?
thank you
I've read that you have to "temper" your chocolate just right. I believe they do it on a flexible acetate mat, do the design, then wrap around the cake. HTH. If you want, you can look up "chocolate wraps" in the threads.
my friend does something similar...i could be wrong but i think she might use almond bark.
I've not done this but I read that you melt the chocolate, let it stand a little while to thicken, then brush it on your mould, which could be a strip of baking parchment, let it almost cool but not harden then pick it up and wrap it around the cake and carefully peel off the paper as you smooth it round the cake. As the chocolate is still soft it wont' crack.
Might give this a try to see if it actually works!! 
cheers
