I am making a cake for my two year old and no one in my family likes MMF or regular fondant. I have seen on Cake Boss that they use modeling chocolate to cover some cakes.

How do I make this and how much would I need? Does anyone have a recipe? It will be for just a simple sheet cake, about 16 by 8 inches and about 5 to 6 inches high.

Thanks!

here is a link to the recipe from CC:

and then I googled it and found these two sites...never made it so I cant give opinions on the recipes!

never seen a recipe that says cover cake like you do with fondant. please bring me up to date with this... i would love to try this.. someone show me.. or lead me to someone that does it.. excited to see this technique...COVERING A CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE CLAY...

Me too! I see it on Cakeboss all the time and I'm dying to know...guess I'll just have to do a trial and error type thing.

I found this online but not sure if its the same thing

But it might work mixing the two together
