We’ve  been wanting to give glittery chocolates a try so this week we went for it. First Lori tried brushing the chocolate mold with disco dust before filling with chocolate, but we weren’t very excited by the results.  Lori then tried brushing the chocolate hearts with hot pink disco dust after molding, and that worked wonderfully!

These gilttery chocolate hearts would make some really gorgeous toppers for cupcakes, cakes, or even ice cream sundaes!

♥ Supplies
• 2″ Plain Heart Chocolate Mold
• Pink Candy Melts
• Hot Pink Disco Dust
• 12″ Disposable Decorating Bags

We have a serious love for all things Jadite here at Layer Cake Shop.  If you’re not familiar, its a beautiful milky mint green glass that many serving pieces, mixing bowls and vases were made from beginning in the 1930′s.  Fire King popularized Jadite in the 1950′s when it started producing a heat resistant line.

I’ve been wanting to try a chocolate Jadite muffin tin and spoon forever, and I’m so glad Lori was finally able to make it happen! I turned out so cute and when paired with mini chocolate cupcakes it makes the perfect little edible baking set!

♥ Supplies
• Light Green Candy Melts
• Peanut Butter Candy Melts
• Baking Set Chocolate Mold
• Mini Cupcake Chocolate Mold
• 12″ Disposable Decorating Bags

Lori made this oh so sweet fawn this week, and I just love his simple details! She added the white spots to the inside of the mold before filling with peanut butter candy melts, and the eyes and nose using a brown edible ink marker.  Wouldn’t this make a stunning cake topper!

This was Lori’s first time making molded chocolates and as you can see she did an amazing job!  If you’ve ever hesitated giving chocolates a try go for it! For more details check out our Basic Chocolate Molding Tutorial.

Ring in spring with super cute bright yellow chocolate marshmallow tulip lollipops! These were so easy to make and look pretty adorable!

1. Poke a small hole in the center of your mini tulip baking cups 2. Push regular size store bought marshmallows onto paper lollipop sticks. 3. Melt your yellow candy melts in a container so that the chocolate will be deep enough to cover the whole marshmallow in one dip. 4. Dip your marshmallows making sure that the whole marshmallow gets coated. 5. Tap the stick on the rim of your container to get rid of excess candy melt. 6. Poke your stick through a baking cup and push the baking cup up under the marshmallow. 7. Push into a block of white craft foam or cake pop holder to let dry. 8. Once dry, cut some little green paper leaves. We adhered them using glue dots.

♥Supplies
• 4-1/2″ Paper Lollipop Sticks
• Yellow Candy Melts
• Regular Size Marshmallows
• Mini Tulip Baking Cups
• Green Paper
• Glue Dots

Owls, butterscotch and autumn just seem to go together don’t you think? Every autumn I get the urge to make things featuring woodland animals!

This is my first time working with butterscotch candy melts, new to our shop this year, and oh my.. they are so incredibly sweet and yummy! Perfect for these little owls! I found the butterscotch candy melts a bit stiffer when melted than others, so I would consider them much more ideal for molding rather than dipping.


I think my very favorite use for bakers twine is tying sweet bows on chocolate lollipops!

So adorable!

Follow our Basic Chocolate Molding Tutorial if you’re new to chocolate molding.

Tips: Roll the lollipop stick once in the mold to coat the whole top of the stick with chocolate, this makes the stick more secure. Get yourself more than one mold if you plan to make a lot, waiting for the chocolate to harden can become time consuming.

• Butterscotch Candy Melts
• Small Owl Lollipop Chocolate Mold
• White Paper Lollipop Sticks
• Disposable Decorating Bags
•  Cappuccino Brown Bakers Twine

I’ve been dying to try this 3D mushroom mold and now I’m so glad I did!  They’re a little happiness on a stick. I love how the mushrooms have such a mod feel to them when made in pretty bright colors and topped with a little royal icing flower.


Here they are without sticks, just as cute!

I filled some of the cavities to the top, and others not quite, to create mushrooms of varying heights. After letting the chocolate set for just a minute or two it was firm enough that I could just push the sticks right in and they stayed upright all by themselves. Then into the freezer they went.

After about 10 minutes in the freezer, this depends on how warm your chocolate was, they popped right out. I’m very pleased with how shiny they are!

I let the mushroom parts come to room temperature, then attached them together with a little melted chocolate and propped up on the edge of a cookie sheet to set. Top with a little royal icing flower using a dab of melted chocolate if desired. For more detailed chocolate molding tips check out our Basic Chocolate Molding Tutorial.
