I have a large order of cake pops for a wedding this weekend and I am having trouble getting the candy melts to melt properly. I made some with plain white melts and they came out fine. I always add paramount crystals to them since they are not thin enough.
I need to make some gray and pink pops also, but when I try to melt a mixture of colors, none of them come out right. I am careful to make sure they are not overheating, have tried adding vegetable shortening, and nothing is helping. I am on my third batch that I have had to toss. I am mixing pink, white, blacl and yellow melts to get the shade I need, and have done this before, but something is just not working today. I would appreciate any suggestions! I attached a picture of a cake pop I dipped in the melts so you can see the problem.
It's been my experience that when such unevenness happens the candy melts are old :( I've usually been able to thin it down using shortening or paramount
