Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

I would love to attempt one of the type of cakes they do on the tv show.could Paul do a tutorial

Hi hilaryb

I think Paul’s tutorials have given us the skills to be able to produce cakes like those at chocoywoccy. They use tempered chocolate for their enrobing instead of fondant, but the majority of the skills like model and flower making are similar and just their imagination to create OTT designs. My hubby and I are visiting them this summer, now that will be an experience! x

Wow I,m jealous try andfind out their secret recipes.seriously I,d like to know what they use for modellingwe can,t buy moodelling chocin Australia and no-one wants to post it because of the heat.

Hi hilaryb

I’ll try and weed information from them, but I will be telling them about PBSS. Perhaps I should just stay shtum!!
We’re going to Brighton to do an airbrushing course so the visit to it Choccy fits in nicely. I’ll put a recipe up for modelling choc soon, I have to make it first to make sure it works. Have a look here in case there is something to interest you http://www.robertsconfectionery.com.au/pages/make-modelling-chocolate, this is an Australian site and here http://www.hungryhappenings.com/ for recipes. All you can do in the heat is keep things as cool as you can, easier said than done! I’ve lived in the mean heat of Q/land so I know what you’re saying. x
