Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

Is it possible to use milk chocolate instead of dark and also omit the instant coffee, or perhaps use less than 9 teaspoons from this receipe? It is for a childs’ birthday cake so require something which is not too rich in flavour. Many thanks.

Milk chocolate??

You can definitely omit the coffee, although it does help enhance the flavour of the chocolate and the coffee taste is totally undetectable.
