Satin Ice ChocoPan Bright White Modeling Chocolate, 5 Pounds

Great taste & easy to work with

This chocolate modeling fondant is great for molding items for a cake. One thing that I found out is that when molding the chocolate into something tall, when it dries it doesn’t really get hard enough for the item to stand up. I used this chocolate to make the items on the attached cake, but after letting the items dry for almost a week, the items never did get hard, they were still pliable. I usually use regular fondant to mold items for cakes that I make but decided to use this type of chocolate instead. That was the only downside to it. Otherwise, the chocolate fondant tastes great and everyone loved it.

I've been decorating cakes for fun for many years now but only recently started using chocolate modeling paste. I wanted to try a pre-made version to learn what the consistency should be before I try to make it from scratch. I first made my kids' dragon birthday cake with the white chocolate which blended together beautifully. The scales would have hid any imperfections but there really weren't any as simply rubbing adjoining pieces melded them together seamlessly. I painted the cake with gel food dye and vodka (the alcohol evaporates off) which probably isn't the best option for this but worked well enough as long as you do not refrigerate the cake after decorating.I loved the ease of working with this modeling paste the first time so I also made a cake for my sister using the black color. This one seemed a little harder to knead and much more finicky when it came to blending. The shape and cartoonish style of her beetle cake were far less forgiving and the black modeling paste just didn't blend together seamlessly. It took quite some time to cover this cake decently but it eventually got there.I've been pleased with the results I've gotten using this product but in the future I will try to stick to the white color if possible as it was wonderful to work with. It is so much easier, more versatile, and tastier than the fondant I normally use to cover cakes. If you like to sculpt cakes this is a great option.Note:1. Do not refrigerate the cake after decorating with modeling paste to avoid it sweating. Put it into a cake box or any cardboard box and store in a cool dry place out of dirct sunlight until it's time to serve. I refrigerate leftovers but that's up to your judgement.2. Certain pieces of the cakes in my photos are gumpaste, fondant, and gelatin.

Artificial flavoring. Hardly smells like chocolate.

This IS NOT modeling chocolate! In the picture of the ingredients this product advertises that white chocolate is the first ingredient. But there is NO chocolate, cocoa powder or even cocoa butter in this product what so ever! Its just sugar, oil, powdered milk and corn syrup! It's basically just fondant, and tastes like bad fondant too, with a chewy, rubbery texture. It was terrible to work with! I had to keep returning the pieces I was working with to the freezer because just from the heat of my hands, this stuff turns to a gooey, sticky mess within seconds! I used it for Halloween, so not like the house was even hot. For the price, I expected to receive real modeling chocolate!

Softer and softens easier than other brands. Usually have to make sure it’s set before adding more weight to it. Taste is a bit chalky and the color isn’t bright white so adding white coloring helps.

Great modeling chocolate. Easy to work with and tastes much better than fondant. The color and texture are also amazing.

It was a little dry to work with and cracked very easily. Taste was ok.
