Why Work with Modeling Chocolate ?

摘要

It wasn't until I'd had multiple fails with figures collapsing, cracking, and falling apart that I started looking into alternatives. I remember the day well: It was a Saturday and I was browsing in a cake supplies shop, minding my own business, when a small shiny packet caught my eye. "Cocoform" it read, followed by "Chocolate Modeling Paste." What was this odd product? So many questions sprung to mind but I will admit that the main one was, "Mmmm, can I eat that?" The assistant explained that I could use it instead of fondant and that maybe I should give it a try. The rest is history! Now, it wasn't all smooth sailing. There were a few tears and tantrums, but when I realized that the chocolate was actually talking to me (no, I'm not mad), it showed me how it liked to be handled, when it needed space, and when it was ready to play ball. This is when my relationship with modeling chocolate blossomed.
