choc wrap cake using shortening
Hi there! I have a quick question on the chocolate wrap cake. I’m making it on a dummy for a show and I was wondering if I can use shortening to stick the cocoform to the polystyrene instead of ganache or will it slip? Thanks in advance 🙂

Hi
I covered a cone with fondant to do a chocolate warp and used sugar glue to attach the chocolate and it work perfectly. It was made a couple of weeks ago and still looks great.
You can make the fondant the same colour as the chocolate.

Hi NinaYK
My instinct for long term would be ganache. I expect shortening will stick the wraps but would it dry out over time as the shortening gets absorbed into the polystyrene??
