I have been making "attempts" at modeling chocolate, following different U-Tube videos for the past 3 months with so-so success. However, I must say, that after following your example and recipe, I am turning out batch after batch of beautiful, smooth modeling chocolate. I usually use candy melts (Wilton, US) which work very well, and I am so happy with the results I am getting. I think one of the big differences between your method and many of the others are 3: 1. The precise ratio of Karo Syrup to chocolate. Having the chocolate in grams makes it very easy to downsize the recipe by half or even a forth and still get great results. 2.Kneading it after one hour of sitting - without cover - on a piece of parchment or wax paper and 3. After sealing it in a plastic bag, kneading it again after 2 more hours. It stays reasonably soft even after a week, making it easy to work with. Thank you for your excellent instructional video and recipe.
I do want to confirm one thing: As long as you add color to your syrup before adding to the chocolate, regular gel colors will work, and it isn't necessary to use the oil based candy colors. Is that correct?
Thanks again!
Great to hear! You can go ahead and use regular gel colours even after it's made. No need to use chocolate colours or anything ever. Thanks for the support xo
I'm working on your recipe in my kitchen right now. Excited to see the results!
I've just discovered modelling chocolate, I'm loving it! Which would you say is better, modelling chocolate or fondant?
Thank you so much. I am not really a fondant lover and I try my level best to avoid fondant. By chance ended up here on this video. And i would say it is indeed a blessing in disguise. Going to try this method and recipe of modelling chocolate and if it turns out good then walaaaa.....i would bid goodbye to fondant. Thank you once again for this super easy and amazing lesson dear. God Bless you more and more. Lots of love from Malaysia.
That's truly amazing! Thanks so much for the tips! :)
OMG!!! this channel is the best thank you for the tips.
gladys G Thank you :)
Its so simple and quick.I love using it thanks for showing this video.
Javier Perez Thanks!
Thank you Vanessa for this great video. How do I decide between fondant and modelling chocolate to cover cakes with? Do you find modelling chocolate more palatable than fondant? (because I've seen fondant wasted on cakes very often) is there any different between the two in terms of texture or anything else I need to keep in mind when I choose modelling chocolate over fondant ?
Thank you for your fast reply.
Danika you can use glucose.
Glucose makes it too hard and friable to work with. I think a better option for substituting corn syrup is maple syrup :)
I would love to try this! with glucose it's pretty thick here in australia.... is it the same quantity as corn syrup? and how long can i keep this in room temp? thank you :)
Hi Vanessa, love this cake and would love to try it this weekend for my birthday. I was wondering, can you use chocolate compound instead of the chips or bars?. Look forward to hearing from you
hi
I love ur cakes and ur recipes. I wanted to make modelling chocolate so I went to the supermarket to buy karo light corn syrup but there was only dark corn syrup. I dint buy that. is it fine if I buy that.
Heeee, I love your videos!
I was wondering if you could use white chocolate bars en break them in small peaces instead of chocolate you use?
hi. thanks for the video. can u use Wilton candy melts?
Thank you for the nice and easy instructions, you made it seem fool-proof...thank you
thank you
I made a bb8 cake today and it was my first cake. Didn't turn out well. I'm going to use the mold again and do the modelling chocolate like you did.
hi cake style, I all the way from Trinidad and would like to know if being in a hot room will affect my modelling chocolate, because it tends to be extremely oily after I do it??
Could you melt it over a double boiler ?
cake style can I use this modelling chocolate to cover a cake thank you for your tutorials I will love to make it one of this days
Hi. If I need to make small quantities, like 200g of dark chocolate how much corn syrup I need to use?
And also what about 200g of white chocolate how much corn syrup. Thanks a lot.
Thanks so much for the tips mam
I love chocolate !
thank you so much
It worked for us... thankyou, but quick question... when we were using the rolling pin to flat it out. It was sticking to the pin. We then tried using a bit of conf sugar but wasnt working to unstick... what do we do next time???
Hi, Can you help me? Can you tell me the different between using corn syrup instead of glucose?, ¿It is better to use chocolate colorant or the regular one? I already tried this recipe and it was a disaster, the chocolate turned to be a mountain of chocolate pieces so dry that was impossible to work with. I want to use it in a project and I need a this help.. Thanks
Can I use homemade white chocolate coorge andcorn syrup must be heat right ?
Can we make a hand which hold or hang with modli g chocolate? Is its hold or fall down?
nicely done like everything you do, I have learned so much from you, thank you, can you cover a cake with the modeling chocolate? thank you
+Nayasgift not in the traditional sense, but you can wrap, and do some sculpted shapes.
how much chocolat and cyrop do you use? Thank you
Hello there! If you want to use multiple colors for a project, is it safe to divide them let's say into 4 then equally divide the corn syrup with the food coloring that you will use instead of one big mama dough? thanks! your videos are so creative, detailed, doable and delish! Keep it up! ;)
Hi, if were i live its to hot room tempeture, can i put it on the fridge?
Hi vanessa, if i need lots of color can i color the chocolate like a fondant process or i really need to add the color to the syrup...thank heaps
+Stephanie Encluna Just like fondant, but it's oily so def wear gloves.
What other than corn syrup can be used?
Hi thanks for sharing your Wonderful Videos,
I would like to know weather
Callebaut coverture is also good for Modeling chocolate.
Thank you for your reply.
Many greetings from Germany
+Esi Jaeger You can, but I save that for ganache and just use regular chocolate for this, because it's cheaper.
Hello, its amazing nd as you describe in very easy way.could i know its shelf life ? Love nd regards frm india.
How long can you save modeling chocolate after making it?
Hi, Love your videos! Thanks so much for uploading all your knowledge for us :) Just a question about the corn syrup. Where do you get it? I see that you are from Australia, like me, but I can't find it anywhere! Thanks
Mary Toomey We get ours from a place called Bibina. You can also get it online at Raspberry Butterfly, and I think USA Foods in Melb (also online) should have it.
Cake Style How long can I use the modeling chocolate after it's been made and what is the proper way to store it? Thank you! So helpful and creative!
J. Storms Stored in a ziploc bag for up to six months at cool room temps.
Please can you tell me , Which chocolate you use real or compound?
Can I use dark chocolate for this recipe? If so, is quantity of dark chocolate to corn syrup the same? Thank you
Hi is this the same as white chocolate clay that you can roll out, make strip and curls it??? Thank you
Elvira Villanueva Yes, it is. We love using modelling chocolate, filming another tutorial with it this week~
Hi Vanessa and Jon, can I used callebaut chocolate for the modeling chocolate.? Thanks heaps
+stef encluna absolutely, but you can also get away with cheaper chocolate in this recipe
hi!! great tutorial!! could you tell me how is it made the modeling chocolate with stripes? in different colors? is it made with a pasta machine?
Victoria Peña Yes, we use a pasta machine.
Hi, I have tried your way, but my chocolate is always kinda melty, even after a full 24 hour of storage after making. I live in a hot and humid country. Can you advise the ratio for cooking chocolate and corn surup. We don't have candy melts here.
I made some modeling chocolate, what would make the chocolate be sticky
I left my modeling chocolate for an hour but when I went to need it is had an excess of oil and it was not smooth - I made sue I didn't over heat it and I checked for the temperature of the syrup and chocolate to be almost the same temperature - what might I have done wrong? Is there anyway to save it?
Hi. Does modeling chocolate melts in hot areas??
Hi Vanessa, Can I color the modeling chocolate like fondant? If I need a few colors of it, do I have to mix the corn syrup with melted white chocolate a few times with the color I want or I can just add onto the modeling chocolate just like prepping the colored fondant? TIA.
Shannon Boay Yes, I mix it in just like normal. I think I have it in the flower pot cake video.
Oh really? Cool. Will check it out. Loving all your tutorials! Learned so much :)
Hi there :)
Just a quick question, for the chocolate itself, does it have to be real chocoalte (with cocoa butter) or can I use compound chocolate instead?
cheers!
Deby Yuza The Nestle stuff we use doesn't have cocoa butter in it. It actually makes a better, stronger finished product.
Do you have a small batch ratio of chocolate to corn syrup
I loved this so much... I hate fondant... This seems to b à better version
I am making a mindcraft cake this week for my son's birthday. I am going to need multiple colours. How would you suggest doing that? Thanks.
Great video. Can't wait to try it.
Don't add the color at the beginning like she did. After it is mixed separate it into how ever many colors you are using and then color them the color you want. Just add the color into the middle of the chocolate and kneed it in.
+Kimberly Kerr see the flower pot cake and yes, colour just like fondant.
hi there 👍I really like it..I have 2 questions :what is the persanteg of the chocolate should be in the white chocolate, and if I will make it with the dark chocolate how much it should be. .Thanks
+Umsaif Mohd same for dark, sometimes you need to pop in an extra tablespoon of corn syrup. The white choc I use in this isn't even real choc, so % don't matter in this.
I am making my brother a 16th birthday cake and all of the recipes I am using are from your channel 😜🍰
+Kennedy Copeland Fantastic!
Which brand of chocolate can I but in the us?
can we use liquid glucose? ?
Hi Vanessa! 2 questions: 1) how long is the shelf live 2) can you airbrush it?
+Rafael Feliciano in a ziploc bag it can last 6 months. Just warm up in the microwave 20% for 30 seconds at a time. You can airbrush, I have done a luster in it a number of times using the airbrush.
Hey ur doing great job I try ur vanilla cupcake recipe for my cupcakes and cake it turned out perfect... I was wondering if you can give me the measurements for smaller amount for modeling chocolate.
+sanam abro is this the kind of recipe we can half it really easily
okey will give it try... thanks
can you use colored chocolate instead of dye
Can I use liquid colour ?
Hi can i use rice syrup
wt u use with white choclate please rply
I'm in Canada , do you know what kinda chocolate and corn syrup I should use ? I've tried to make it twice and I haven't had much success with it ... should I use real chocolate with cocoa butter or fake chocolate with veg oil ? I'm not a big fan of fondant but I want to make a cake for sisters baby shower ! It's expensive messing it up constantly lol we do have collbalt chocolate the one you use to make your ganache , think that would be good ? I've watched so many videos but I feel like yours is the best instructions ... Please help !!
Tasha Firby We use fake chocolate for this as it sets up hard, and then light corn syrup, or glucose is meant to work, though I've not tried it. We love the taste of it compared to fondant.
How long does it last
Have you tried turning this black before? Does it work or is it a dark shade of grey?
+Hannah Van Ingen you can go black yes, or you could also start using a milk chocolate instead of the white
i was watching another tutorial and when they used white chocolate, all the cocoa butter was leaking out as they were kneading it. is this white chocolate you are using made with cocoa butter or oils?
You are amazing
Just I want to know where can I find corn syrup in Australia?
+Afrooz Zareian Bibina, and Cake Decorating Solutions
what's the best way to store left over, fridge?
yes, just microwave it again to soften it
Podrías traducirlo?
Could I use chocolate nestle? And could I melt the chocolate on a double boiler ? And if I wanted only 5.00 how much chocolate done need and corn syrup. Is white chocolate and dark chocolate the same amount ty can't wait to try it.. and please do a 3d teddy bear cake will like to make it for my friend she's having a baby soon ty
Cakes Cupcakes You can melt the chocolate on a double boiler, but with nestle a microwave works fine, so it's just easier. When doing dark chocolate, we use 900g of dark chocolate to every 1 cup of syrup.
Do you store it in the fridge or freezer and when you take it out do u just leave it out so it can get room temperature?
christa montero no, always at room temp. x
So u can keep it out in room temperature for 6 months?
Can you do the same for dark chocolate and milk chocolate or is there different amounts?
SisterDolphin J You can, but it is different amounts. I just added an extra tablespoon or so of glucose.
Different amounts because theres different amountsof cocoa butter in the chocolate
Or can I use golden syrup? I know it's thicker, but it'd still work right? Would I use the same amount of golden syrup as light corn syrup?
+lulu2224 I'd say so, just affect the color
How long must we keep the chocolate in air tight conditions before using?
Lavinia Tay It needs a few hours to cool. Then it can last about 6 months.
Hi really found tutorial helpful. But I live in UK and I am not sure about corn syrup. Can you tell me what corn syrup is as I am struggling to find it .Or can you advise on something else I can use instead of corn syrup. Also what kind of chocolate do I use is this just any kind of chocolate ? sorry to ask but I am a bit stuck .
+Shell Anderson I just use regular Nestle melts from the shops. Not fancy at all. You can also use glucose, but it is a little thicker.
Hey!
love your channel I learn so much from you So first of all thank you very much
Secondly, can you tell me how much corn syrup I'll need to 200 g chocolate?
I think measuring 1/6 cup will be inaccurate
Thank you very much
ניחוח עוגה 30mls
Thank you!
im in the uk what is an alternative to corn syrup?
In the UK you can buy corn syrup from Amazon.co.uk
What if we mix the colour in the chocolate and not in the corn syrup. Will it make a difference??
does modeling chocolate dry/set hard?
If we are in a rush,is it fine if we put it in the fridge to help it cool faster?
+Squishy Friendss No, it will become sticky.
Hi, may I ask if I want to make a modeling chocolate with a dark chocolate, is it the same measurements?
and can I use a milk chocolate in modeling? and what's the measurements for it too?
Thanks and have a good day :)
+Ali Nasser are you the same recipe, sometimes with milk chocolate you need to add an extra tablespoon of corn syrup
Thank you very much and have a nice day :)
are you using real chocolate or with vegetable oil? thanks
what will we use if we cant find white chocolate or dark chocolate with that brand cuz we r in Doha,Qatar so
+Bandongpietiagodaniellekeisha Bartolome any chocolate Will do with this recipe, it works with cheap and expensive white chocolate
how to store it for much later use? how long in advance can we make this? does it last long in storage, just as fondant? kindly advise
+Lavina WishMaster this lasts a good 6 months in a sealed bag. It's just chocolate and corn syrup, and they take a long time to go off.
Hi can I use the compound chocolate? The ratio will be the same?
+MK WIN Yes
Vanessa - Corn syrup? Can't get it where I live (Kyneton) Victoria is there something else you can use?
It's OK I can see below that I can use glucose syrup
Hello darl! Well here I am Cake Style with a sore back and a hot water bottle at 5:30am watching my channels. I had never heard of modeling chocolate until I found you guys. It does look more "forgiving" when decorating cakes, but I'm wondering about the taste. It would HAVE to taste better than fondant right? Not a fan of fondant or that GAWD awful mock cream that Michels use on their cakes LOL *shudder*
Mairwyn Curtis Haha, modelling chocolate tastes like eating white chocolate. That's it. So addictive! Feel better hun xoxo
Ooooh yummy....as for my back I think it's a pinched nerve lol oh well.....been to the shops....going home now to watch more Cake Style :) you are such a lovey....cant wait until your next video. Oh I forgot to tell you.....that sunshine cake you made...my late Mother used to sing that to me...its our song and it gave me happy thoughts watching you make that. ...im rambling omg lolz
Vanessa, can I use, instead of corn syrup, golden syrup?
+Peanut how much glucose syrup or liquid glucose should be used with 250 gms of dark chocolate and 250 gms or white chocolate?
I find this amazing.
+Valicore thank you
I don't have chocolate melts where I live, what else can I use? Can I use chocolate chips?
+Breonne Jones Yes, but they melt slower.
Dear Cake Style, Will the chocolate remain soft once you have decorated a cake? Is it also possible to make a much thinner layer then I have seen in the video of the bad ass dog?
+Fleur de Bont You can make it as thin as you like, but it does show more imperfections, and can get stickier. It does harden a little, but doesn't set hard as such.
Could pls do a tutorial on how to make chocolate accents for cakes out of modelling chocolate... I wNna know how to roll it shape it to know if it will get sticky.... Pls pls pls do a tutorial on wat i said... I will b waiting for it. TIA
Febina Ku We have used it in our Hungry Caterpillar, Rudolph, Blue Bird, Flower Pot tutorials.
thanku
Cake Style Where are you from?
Could you please make a boat I think its a speed boat I think you call it my dad loves fishing with his friend and wanted to make him this cake for him pls make a video of how to make it thank you xx
I am wondering if we can use this just like fondants.
the textured pretty similar to fondant. and it holds similarly too. so I'd say you could.
+Xandra Ballerina not always. Wrapping cakes cakes, and sculpted, but now a normal cover as it doesn't shrink around the cake.
Chocolate and corn syrup
Can I heat the chocolate and corn syrup on the stove?
I don't have a microwave
+Rawan Ibrahim you'll want to set up a double boiler style method to melt the chocolate
Get one
Hi, can i ask you how you keep this? Will it become hard? And for how long you can keep it? Thanks!
Greeta Aprilia It hardens, and you just soften in in the microwave at 30% for 10-20 seconds, until the centre starts to soften. It can keep for 6 months or longer in a ziploc bag.
How do you store it? Shelf, freezer, fridge?
TravisMichael Just in the cupboard for 6 months.
Can you tell me where are you getting your Karo?? I can't find it!!
+Renee Jordan Bibina
please show to get dark red colour.
