Wel I buy special modeling/melting chocolate at my local Bulk Barn store. it is made my Merkens. It is made specifically to melt.  It comes with instructions on how to do it.  It comes in many colours, but not black.

Wilton also has there own melting chocolate, but it is expensive.  I do believe it is probably made for them by Merkens. I can get Wilton at my local hobby store, but unless I have a 50% coupon, I won't buy it.  I have used a bag of chocolate chips, but that was strictly for making modeling clay.  I use the good quality, Merkens, if I need to pipe a liquid chocolate

I just dont understand why it is soooo necessary to figure out *exactly how* something was done :(

This is a design that can easily be done using several different methods.  Choose the one that is easiest for you.

Cut it from fondant; gp or choco paste; pipe it in choco on parchment or b'cream directly on the cake; use a cutting machine or stencile - ti makes little difference.

Hi Lynne,

 

We are all learning from this website on different techniques that everyone uses.  So if one is not familiar with a certain technique that someone is talking about - its merely just getting some clarification on their thought and process.  And taking those ideas and working with it to best fit your needs and skill level.

 

Thanks
Meera

Yes I concur Meera

If you have never seen a particular technique, sometimes it helps to ask decorators with experience for advice.

First, it can save a lot of angst and stress, and possibly wasted money from having to re-doing something. That is one of the reasons this site was started in the first place. Why surf the net, go to YouTube, buy a book, when there is a wealth of knowledge right here.  Not everyone has the same level confidence as you obviosly posesse  Lynne.  I certainly don't. I am so ever grateful for the great advice I get here. Some Newbie may not even know what "fondant" is? If you are British with not much experience with the American/Canadian market, you might not know that  what they call sugarpaste is what we call fondant.
