I just came back from Home Depot looking for the foam roller to ice my cakes. I couldn't find it. 
If you all are not using the brand that Melvira reccommended what brand are you using and is it dense enough to ice cakes smooth?
I want to make snowflakes with candy melts. Any tips on doing this successfully? Paper to use, how to make sturdy so as not to break when moving from paper to cake? Do I have to do a mirror image of the snowflake? Refrigerate or freeze candy snowflakes? How to attach to bc iced cakes more candy melts or bc?
You might find that you get more answers if you make the title of your post more specific
I couldn't find Melvira's brand, I think that might be a regional thing. I bought RollerFoam. Get the ultra-fine foam. Mine has the dome-shaped end so I don't leave a ridge when I am rolling. I got it at Home Depot.
As for the chocolate snowflakes, just find any snowflake pattern you like and enlarge or reduce to the size you want. Put the picture under a piece of transparency paper (the smooth shiny kind - I found out that there is a matte finish kind and you don't want that). You can buy transparency paper from office depot in a box - it is fairly inexpensive and lasts a long time. Anyway, you want it to be shiny because when you turn your chocolate piece over (or your chocolate transfer) it will be shiny. If you use a dull surface like wax paper, your chocolate will have a dull finish to it. Melt your chocolate in the microwave and pour into a decorating bag and cut a small hole in the end - you don't need a tip. Pipe over your design and let it set up and it comes right off. Don't pipe it too thinly though - it will break for sure. I read somewhere that if you leave it in the fridge for very long (to set it up quickly) it makes them brittle. Of course I read this AFTER I did it and whoever said that, was right! Mine seemed to break more easily that way. You could also tape down some saran wrap and do it on that, it would probably be easier to remove, but would be a pain to stretch the saran wrap onto something tightly enough to not get wrinkles in your design.
I would attach with just a drop of buttercream.
Hope this is what you were looking for - pm me if you need more help.
no need to refrigerate candy, just make sure you do 2 layers of design to make sure they dont break on you...
