Modelling chocolate is a type of paste that is made from chocolate and corn syrup. It holds the shape and details well.

WHAT IS IT USED FOR

  • sculpting realistic faces
  • cake toppers (especially figures that have a lot of intricate detail)
  • sugar flowers
  • bows
  • cutouts
  • strips
  • covering cakes (with panels)

PROS
  • Modelling chocolate gets firm fast so you can attach the parts quite quickly.
  • It holds the shape and details well.
  • You can remove the seams easily.
  • Works well with texture mats.
  • It’s easy to make fast flowers with it.
  • Since it's made from chocolate it has great flavor.

 

CONS

  • Doesn’t work well in hot and humid weather or if you have hot hands.
  • Not great for making cake toppers with large heads and small bodies, because the small body might crack under the weight of the large head. 
  • You can't roll out the petals as thin as with flower paste, so the flowers have a much chunkier look.
