Ok so I have a big event coming up next month, my twin daughters 8th birthday and as I have now started making cakes they have asked for the biggest most elaborate cake that I have made so far. It will have all their favorite characters and I thought I’d make a start on some of the models that will go on the cake, so here is Tinkerbell made from modelling chocolate, she will go on top of the cake along with a few other characters which I still have to make.

She turned out very well, I’ll be keeping a look out for the rest of the figures. You got me looking on YouTube now for tutorials lol. Well done hun.

Yes I saw when you posted her face earlier. I’m the one that was asking about modelling chocolate earlier. You have me very excited about using it now. Thanks for inspiring me.

oh I’m glad to have inspired you, that is a big compliment! I have been trying to make faces for a while now but have never been happy, I was trying with fondant but decided to give modelling chocolate a go, it took a few tries getting the recipe right but I think I have now worked it out and I definitely recommend modelling chocolate for more intricate work as you can take your time without worrying about it drying out xx

Trust me you have done a great job, I only wish I can be on that level one day. Can I ask where you got your recipe from?

I’ve tried a few recipes but the best result was when I mixed 500g of white chocolate with 120ml of light corn syrup, if you are in the UK you can buy the corn syrup on amazon xx
