This little guy {and cutest monster ever!} is actually just a ‘tester’ for my boys’ birthday in October. I know right?!?! Wish I could freeze him ’til then! Cheryl from Sew Can Do shared an awesome recipe for modeling chocolate a while ago. It looks just like fondant!! I love it ~ very easy! Thanks Cheryl!
Did I mention that I have never baked a round cake, never baked a cake in a mixing bowl and never made modelling chocolate let alone iced with it??! No? Well here we go….
I picked up white candy melts and food colouring from Michaels. Basically you microwave the chocolate according to the package instructions then gently mix in 1/2 c light corn syrup. This made enough chocolate to completely cover my cake and decorate it with extras.
i cannot believe this was your first modeling chocolate/fondant type cake!! amazing!!! seriously, i cant believe it, its perfect :)
Fantastic :)
awesome – totally wouldnt have guessed that was chocolate – how neat! glad to see your first plunge into the chocolate/fondant/round cake tester was such a success!!!
Your monster cake is AWESOME!!! Wow! I’m envious!

Your cake is way cute!! I’m so impressed. I’d planned on using the modeling chocolate recipe you linked to next month for my daughter’s 1st birthday. Nice to see how much one bag of candy melts makes.
OMG! That cake is absolutely adorable! Wondering how to make one for my girls….Love the fact that it isn’t fondant (I like using fondant but dislike the taste).
Super cute! I would love to eat that monster. :-) I had never heard of modelling chocolate, but it looks great :-)
Check you out girl! This is so freakin’ cute! Thanks for linking up to Hoo’s got talent!

New follower of your blog. I’m a hobby baker and make my own marshmallow fondant that tastes delicious, only downside it’s not always as easy to work with and sometimes sticks to the counter. Will have to try out your modeling chocolate recipe sometime. Wanted to share a new cake tool that I LOVE called The MAT. I do not get anything from them but used it for the first time this weekend and it was a lifesaver. No more having to re-roll out fondant because it cracks or sticks to my counter. It’d help with your problem of the cornstarch being used. Just thought I’d share.
