Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

Can you use chocolate silk for the chocolate wrap cake . Or is it possible to use a mix of sugar paste and cocoa form.

Hi Kathy

I’ve never used chocolate silk so don’t know how it sets. It is made of 100% chocolate sugarpaste and may be fine. I know Paul says in the tutorial he prefers to use the modelling chocolate because it holds it’s structure,sets quickly and of course is lovely to eat. I use half and half for covering cakes which works really well. If you type in the search box ‘amount of coco form required for chocolate wrap cake’, there is an answer there from Paul which may be helpful.
