Candy
Painting Method |
|
Adding color details to candies makes them
more realistic and much more fun! For large areas of color, it's best to paint
the melted candy right in the mold before the whole candy is molded using a
decorator brush. Or, for very small details like vines, mouths and messages,
melted candy should be piped onto molded candies using a parchment bag with a
small hole cut in the tip.
1. Melt desired Candy Melts® colors in the
microwave, using the Candy Melting Plate. With decorator brush, paint areas of
candy molds with melted candy.
2. Refrigerate mold a few seconds until candy
is firm, repeating for each additional color.
3. Fill mold to top with melted candy, tap,
refrigerate until firm and un-mold. For best results, always fill in one section
of the mold at a time and let set before adding additional colors.
Piping Details Piping is the way you can add
designs or details by controlled squeezing of melted candy, icing, etc., from a
decorating bag. Just squeeze from the bag onto your molded candy. It's easy to
add hair, facial features, clothes or other designs to candy. When using
parchment bags: Follow Parchment Triangles package instructions to prepare one
bag for each color. Melt the candy separately before placing in parchment bags,
then spoon it into bags. Using scissors, cut a small opening in tip and squeeze
candy on molded candy. You can also reheat candy if it hardens in the bag by
placing the bag back in the microwave or on a warming tray.
