Hi Kim! How do you get your chocolate so 'hot pink' and black so 'black' I love all of these pops but these are my favorite! :) Thanks - Laura
ReplyDeleteWell done Kim! I think your cakepops are awesome!
ReplyDeleteThey look great!
ReplyDeleteLaura - for the pink, I used a small amount of white candy melts, and a LOT of Wilton's pink candy dye. For the black, I used a trick my friend Michelle taught me... mix dark chocolate melts with dark blue candy melts. This gets you to a very dark grey. Then I added some Wilton's black candy dye to get it "black" black :)
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for the kind comments :)
I love the pastel drizzle!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kim! They're all so pretty!
ReplyDeleteKim how do you get your drizzle/lines so perfect? Constantly struggling with this.
ReplyDeleteHi Alexandra - sorry I'm just responding to your question now, I didn't realize you had asked :)
ReplyDeleteI put my melted candy into a Ziplog bag and snip off the end. I've found you have to be a little quick with the drizzle. If you do it too slow, it will puddle or get squiggly lines, instead of thin straight lines.
I hope that helps :)
