I am making cupcakes this weekend, and they requested a leopard print which I usually paint on fondant, but I don't like using fondant on cupcakes and was going to coat them in a butterscotch candy melt instead, will I be able to paint on that will that just not work?  Thank you in advance!

I'm not sure if there is a way but I can tell you what doesn't work! lol

I made cake pops coated in candy melts one time and tried mixing food colouring with vodka to paint smiley faces on them and the paint just slid off!

I'm curious to know if there is a way too

Hmmm, I wonder if oil based candy coloring would work???
