Best Way To Pour Candy Melts Into Moulds?
Sugar Work By cakesrock Updated 12 May 2011 , 4:43pm by TexasSugar
When I pour the colored Wilton candy melts into the moulds, I can't seem to get the detail and precision I would like. The colors tend to run together. The squeeze bottles didn't work great, so I switched to silicone cupcake liners. But I still don't feel I'm doing a great job .....Any advice?
TIA
When I paint details I let them harder before adding the next color. You want to make sure your candy melts are warm enough to flow, but they shouldn't be really hot. I usually put my candy melts in a plastic decorating bag and pipe it into the mold to fill it up.

Great - thanks! Do you heat the bag up in the microwave when the candy melts start to harden? And do you use tips?
TIA
No tips on the bag, just snip the end off. I do heat my bags in the microwave, short periods of time. You can also lay them on a heating pad to help keep them soft.
I use paint brushes to do the details, bags to do the fill in.

Thanks so much - great suggestions for technique.... I never even thought of paint brushes, but it makes perfect sense. I luv your cakes, by the way- you do awesome detail!
