Modeling Chocolate for Cake Decorating image

This modeling chocolate is more stable and easier to decorate with than fondant, plus it is super delicious! A great way to spend extra time with your kids too. This makes enough to easily cover a round cake and make decorations.

Time 2h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (12 ounce) package white chocolate chips
¾ cup corn syrup
1 drop gel food coloring as desired
¼ cup cornstarch, or as needed

Steps:

  • Melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, 1 to 3 minutes.
  • Heat corn syrup until almost as warm as the melted chocolate and combine with chocolate; it may begin to harden and be difficult to stir, but be sure to fully incorporate. Let rest in a cool place, such as a refrigerator or countertop, until very stiff, about 2 hours.
  • Break off a piece in the size you need and begin to play with it; the warmth of your hands will make it a Play-Doh consistency. Mix in gel food coloring as desired.
  • Dust the countertop and a rolling pin with cornstarch and place a ball of modeling chocolate on top; roll to desired size. To cover a cake, roll the chocolate up on the rolling pin for easier transfer to the cake.
