I am planning to make a cake for next weekend. It will be a teapot cake on a 10" round cake. My customer's sister-in-law loves teapots and tulips, so she asked if I could make some tulips lying next to the teapot. I have never used candy clay or chocolate clay (I guess that's what it's called). Can I use this for the tulips? If so, how? Does anyone have a recipe?

icon_smile.gif I have always used this.. It is 1 pk of Candy Melts (14 oz.) and 1/3 c of white corn syrup. Heat them together until melted and smooth..
do not over stir because the oils from the candy melts will separate..pour it on a baking sheet lines with Parchment.
Let it set, about overnight..This would feel really hard the next, so before you work on it, heat it in the microwave for about 10 secs. already sliced, just to soften it. That way it is very easy to handle...you can make anything out of them , just like Fondant...flowers, bows etc.....

That sounds like a great tip....Like what thickness will this be when you pour it? 1/4 inch? thinner?

also....will they become as hard as chocolate? Thanks again!
