katy625, I love your cookies. I am a big fan of modeling chocolate. It works great for tires and windows. I have never used white chocolate, but now I think I might have to try.
Has anyone ever used modeling chocolate to cover a cake? If so how hard is it to work with? Thanks!
Here is a pic of the cake I covered on Sunday and the roses and beads are also white and semisweet chocolate. I am making my brothers wedding cake with white chocolate. Also if you look in the round wedding cake gallery user Steady2Hands made a GOREGEOUS wedding cake that is totally covered in white chocolate!! It is just amazing!
Light Karo Syrup is just light Corn Syurp - Karo is the brand name. 
katy625 how many batches would it take to cover to 8" layers?
Well, I only needed one batch (10oz choc. and 1/3 cup karo syrup) for this 6" cake so to be safe if you are doing a layered 8" cake i would make 3 batches just be safe. You will have leftovers for sure but you would rather have too much than not enough.
thanks for that, I have seen corn syrup for sale, is there much of a difference between corn syrup and light con syrup?. Thanks for helping me.
Please don't mind my ignorance, but are these made with like candy clay? I just bought 5 lbs. of white chocolate chips to make candy boxes for my daughter's 1st communion. I think I'll have left over chocolate and this would be a great place to use it. I have seen cookies with a layer of fondant on top....is this the same effect? I do have questions....
1) I will be making cookies in the shape of crosses using a cross cookie cutter. Do I cut out the candy clay with the same cookie cutter? I want it to be the same size as the cookie.
2) How thick do I roll this out?
3) I have BC in my freezer...... 
can I unfreeze it and use that to glue on the candy clay?
4) Can I decorate the top of the cookies with royal icing?
5) How long do these keep? Can I freeze them? or how far in advance can I make them and keep them at room temp.?
Thanks,
Naty

This cake is gorgeous!!!! How hard is it to work with as oposed to fondant? Do you refrigerate it b/c its chocolate? This must taste way better than fondant though

Yes, use the same cookie cutter so it will fit perfectly.
2) How thick do I roll this out?
supposed to be about 1/4 to 1/8 inch thickness
3) I have BC in my freezer......
can I unfreeze it and use that to glue on the candy clay? YEP!
4) Can I decorate the top of the cookies with royal icing?
Im not sure.....you can try on one and see how it works
5) How long do these keep? Can I freeze them? or how far in advance can I make them and keep them at room temp.?
I've had mine out for 3 days now and they are still good.
With the chocolate that you don't use roll into ball and put into airtight container and keep in your pantry. I've had mine in there since Sunday. i will have to find out how long it keeps. Im not quite sure. I also am unsure about freezing them.
THIS IS THE WEBSITE THAT I USED WHEN MAKING THIS! You can always email Peggy the owner of the site! She is very sweet!!! This tastes much better than fondant! Remember when it sets and you are ready to roll it, it will take a little man power but once your hands warm it up it will be fine THEN add a little crisco in the ball and that will make and keep it elastic. Also, remember when adding clay ontop of clay you use melted chocolate for the glue. BC will hold the first layer of chocolate on the cookie.

Im just not sure...I would just look closely at the bottles of syrup to see on the front if it says light corn syrup. I got mine at Walmart if you have one around.
Hi Katy 625 thanks, in NZ we don't have Walmart and corn syrup is not regulalry used for things here. The corn syrup I have is so thick you could stand a spoon up in itand it would not fall over. I'm assuming light corn syrup is runnier perhaps?

DUR!!! Im sorry!! I forgot on your post that you live out of the States. Yes the light is runnier and I believe of lighter color too...almost clear. I wonder if you talked to the store in your area they might be able to tell you where to get it.

DUR!!! Im sorry!! I forgot on your post that you live out of the States. I believe it just has to do with the color. At least that is what the Karo Syrup website says. The thickness is probably the same. Light corn syrup is almost clear. If you have the dark kind it would probably just destort the color. I wonder if you talked to the store in your area they might be able to tell you where to get it.

Its like in the middle of the page.

Thanks I'll track some down. I've written down the quantities required for the recipe and will give it a go. Just have to find some light corn syrup. I don't believe I've ever seen it here (and believe me I've looked at any shop that should have it). I'll get some one to send me a pot from the USA - when I put in my other rquests for things I can't get here.
Hey thanks so mucch for helping me, what you tell me 5 minutes, would takes me ages to work out!!. Cake Central is a wonderful thing!!

Your welcome! If you have any more questions feel free to ask! You can always pm me! If I don't know the answer im sure I can find it!
thanks katy625 - I'll do that. I've just looked at the KAro site and they have a facility to email pics of their products. I've just emailed my big brother in Michigan and asked him to get me a bottle, he's coming home next Friday, so should have time to grab me one before he comes

Katy626, thank you so much for answering me. I really appreciate it!! I will look into the website you gave me...thanks again!
Naty
Do you know how the chocolate holds up packaged in bags??? This might work for the cookies I'm making for my sister's wedding in July.
Your cookies look great by the way!! 
Thanks!
Your cookies look really yummy and beautiful!
I've been wanting to experiment with the choc. clay myself. Cookies seem to be a great seller for me, so I just might have to make a batch!
