Edible Chocolate Clay

Chocolate Roses made from edible Chocolate Clay can be an impressive decoration that is easy to make. Matter of fact it can be a project that you can do with children - well, you may not want to be hiring the little ones to do all your decorating just yet - but it can be a good recipe for them to do a fun project with the folks. But seriously, Chocolate Clay is a useful media to us in cake decorations.

I’ve used them on totally chocolate cakes to using them for contrast on an all white buttercream cake. This edible clay can be also used as a form of edible modeling clay for making other figurines and objects. The soft pliability makes it easy to work with. The basic recipe is chocolate and corn syrup - like I said basic. You can grab a recipe from http://www.hgtv.com/HGTV/project/0,1158,... - for chocolate clay from Michael ReMine of ”Simply The Best Chocolates” - where you can also order hobby chocolate from them.

But you can be as imaginative as you would like in coming up with varied designs to incorporate it in. For example at HGTV there are some ideas for using chocolate in inventive ways to make chocolate pine cones, chocolate roses and chocolate mice : http://www.hgtv.com/HGTV/project/0,1158,...
