re: Modelling chocolate

Yes, its easier to add the colour to the chocolate whilst its melted rather than trying to knead it in.
You cannot knead modelling chocolate too much as it melts easily. Im in england and I use sugarflair paste colours.
I make small amounts of each colour I need, but you can make large amounts as the modelling chocolate can last up to a year. The recipe I use is from wicked goodies.net, its great!
