Trying To Figure Out The Finish On This Octopus Cake Pop!
Decorating By emarcomd Updated 3 Jan 2019 , 9:08pm by SandraSmiley
I'd like to make some cake pops for the volunteer dive team at the NY Aquarium (we clean the glass and pick up uneaten fish heads, etc.)
I'm not big on the cartoony kind, but I found this, which I rather like:
Guessing that's either fondant or gum paste or modeling chocolate with liquid colors painted on (or markers) and then a glaze over it?
But how do you paint on modeling chocolate? And you coudn't glaze that could you? Sorry for the newbie-ness!
Here's the page I got it from (don't worry about the URL... it's not a sex page, it's some blogger) and the baker is Sarah Downham from "Kiss and Bake Up"

You can! And since water based coloring doesn’t really soak into modeling chocolate, it’ll stay shiny. I did some planet cake pops in the same fashion, and then sprayed them with shell and shine.

Is "shell and shine" a brand of spray?
Looks like the product has new packaging, but this is what I used! It was under Dinky Doodle, but it’s the same stuff.
This is the effect I got using food color diluted in vodka. I think I mostly used powdered coloring in these, but my kids have used diluted food coloring on modeling chocolate, and then the spray.
I paint on modeling chocolate all the time with powdered colors and gel colors, mixed with alcohol. It works better if you let it dry for a day or so.
