Let that harden and then take out and put more choc on and sculpt the charzar head. Once it is sculpted put in fridge this time for about 15 to let harden up. Take out and push dow into ur cake then sculpt cake. Roll out thin choc and cover the body. Be sure to press a lot of choc around the neck and head to connect this also gives more support when it all hardens up! On my bear, his paws and feet were sculpted all out of choc then dowels in them and press into the other choc! Good luck Sandy!!!

I put choc down in that tube first. (Roll up like a rope and push it in there). Then i form a round ball on top of the pillar-this is to later sculpt the pokemon head on . Put it in freezer

<p>Another questions on your bear do you use an extra support in the head because I plan on sculpting charizard head out of modeling chocolate? Was sure since it will be so heavy if I needed extra support. Thanks<br></br> <br></br> <cite>Katy Nott said:</cite></p>

Look at my "what a bear cake", sandy. That is a fully sculpted cake and it is all modeling choc. I don't use a 50/50 fondant mix, so can'tgive you much help there! When u cover the cake, treat it like you would if you WERE using fondant apply it the same way.<br />
<br />
Hope it goes great!!!!<br />

<p>Nice to meet you Phil. I looked at your page and your cakes are fantastic!! When you use modeling chocolate to cover a sculpted cake do you use it straight or with fondant 50/50? I am starting a pokemon cake today and would like to cover charizard with modeling chocolate. I am very new to modeling chocolate have make pokemon figures out of it for the same cake and they came out ok but just not sure about the covering.
