Ayesha Jhumka hello, I just saw in a Spanish tutorial that you can use glucose but first you have to put the glucose on the microwave for rounds of 10 seconds till it is more liquid

***** Hi Julia - finally got round to trying the recipe and followed your tutorial to the letter. My final product ended up a bit on the stiff side. Should I add more corn syrup to combat this? I'm in the UK and we have liquid glucose instead of corm syrup. Would this make a difference> TIA :)

Muchísimas gracias por la clase!!! Magnífica explicación de la técnica a realizar con ambos tipos de chocolate. La felicito es usted excelente!. Saludos desde Caracas- Venezuela.

It's very interesting to see this white chocolate dough. Usually, recipes (or video tutorials as the case may be) tell you to fold the syrup into the white chocolate until you don't see anymore steaking, because working it more will make the cocoa butter ooze out. Now, because Corn Syrup isn't available where I live, I used golden syrup. With dark chocolate it worked really well, my dough came out very nicely, but the white chocolate? I tried this about 4 times and I gotta say that folding it until I don't have any more streaking is a great way to make the modelling chocolate ooze cocoa butter ... so this way, where you work the cocoa butter out of the dough on purpose is a great silver lining. Maybe I'll try this way tomorrow. Thank you for the tutorial!

Thanks for the nice demo! Just a quick tip. If you initialize the scale after keeping the bowl of melted chocolate on it, then you can pour corn syrup until the scale reads 3.5 ounces. That way you don't need to do any additions in your head. Hope this makes sense. Thanks Julia for your excellent work.

You are a lifesaver! I had watched many videos on modelling chocolate and it seemed easy enough but i made sure to check your channel before i actually did it just as a reference. Anyway so as a trial i bought a cheap white chocolate (we dont have candy melts in my country) and because it was cheap i assumed it was a compound white chocolate.. and after mixing a lot of oil coated the beautiful white dough.. had i not watched your video, i would have freaked out and thought it went wrong.. but.. i said well, it seems to be cheap but real white chocolate not compound, so i did what u did, removed the spatula, took it between my hands and kneaded it gently and with a bit of paper towels kept drying my hands (it sticks like crazy to the chocolate so i didnt dare) until i felt the "oil" became a bit less i wrapped it up. So honestly thank you no other video mentions this.. they do ask for compound chocolate in their recipes, but for beginners like me we might make the mistake to assume that we have compound chocolate

You can sometimes keep the white chocolate from breaking like this by hardly stirring it at all, and making sure the white chocolate is barely melted (not too hot). But, still, there is usually a little excess cocoa butter (when dealing with real chocolate) that I like to sop up.

Ms. Usher, Thank you for the excellent videos. Is there a recipe in cup measure? I did hear 1/3 cup of corn syrup at one point during the dark chocolate demonstration. What is the cup measure - not ounces- of chocolate for that amount of corn syrup? I have made six batches (a costly production) and my chocolate has been grainy and crumbly. I am at my wits end. Help!

Julia! You don't know how much your video helped me esp with your detailed instructions about -heat of choc and the kneading of white choc! After probably 5 fails (from other tutorials) i have finally managed to make this succesfully with your tutorial. I live in borneo and it's always so hard to find lots things esp Modelling choc. Now I can finally use it to create beautiful cake decorations.

Can I use the precolored Wilton candy melts for this?

thank you Julia for all your wonderful videos, how should I store leftover modeling choc. and how long can t be stored? thanks for sharing

Love your videos Julia - thank you so much. Does the molded chocolate stay pliable or does it harden?

I read that you use Valrhona, Callebaut & Guittard in the description & am excited to see the endorsement of GOOD chocoates! You can actually brown & caramelize the valrhona white chocolate. It was surprisingly delicious with a mango dessert I once had, never thought it was possible. I only use valrhona cocoa & if making a rich filling that uses melted chocolate, I will use valrhona Nibs. Otherwise Guitarrd is my other favorite for the same things plus using in cookies or pastries. Commercially guittard has boxes of bars that are super yummy. Same thing used in panera's chocolate pastry. :)

hi julia, is this recipe good for rolling the dough or just molding? how can i get it to stay soft enough when covering a cake?

Julia, I have made both recipes. The White and Semi Sweet dough. The White Chocolate Dough came together well however it did not ooze the cocoa oil that yours did. Im concerned I did not stir it enough or my chocolate was to cold?? It has since set up nicely or at least I think it has. *L*

Fantastic :o) I don't like fondant, so will be making thus for the next cake. Xx

I love your video's, I get to learn a lot of different techniques by watching how you do it. It works a lot better than studying from a book. I once tried to make moddeling chocolate, but it turned into a disaster. They don't sell corn syrup where I live so I tried to find a substitute. I read your reply to another comment, about using honey or granulated suager. If you ever try making it using those ingredients, would you please make a video with them?

Hi Julia, thank you for this recipe. I want to make white chocolate version, does this recipe double or even triple well? Or do I need to.make other adjustments? And, can I cover a cake with this also. Thank you so much!

Hi there this video helped me alot! Thanks for that but my question is, how much roses can you make out of this 7oz chocolate dough?

Do you know where I can buy that chocolate in the us in LA? That would be very helpful

I just made a bunch of roses with modeling chocolate I made with candy melts, after watching your tutorial. They turned out beautiful but I really don't like the taste of candy melts, also not a fan of corn syrup. I''m going to try using a good quality white chocolate, and add gel coloring and glucose instead to see if it tastes better. Thank you for your great tutorials!

When would you be able to color this if you wanted it to be? After it sets for a day or before it gets packaged?

hi:) I used a dark chocolate (70% cocoa), but when I added the syrup it went almost grainy like the white chocolate does in your video. I tried to kneed it together like you did and heaps of what I assume is cocoa butter came out. Have I done something wrong? and do you think it will still work to make roses?

I'm planning to use this to make chocolate flowers. Would I be able to use powdered coloring to "paint" subtle color on the white chocolate petals?

What brand of chocolates do you recomend? Is it possible to use morsals?

Great video! I'll have to try this as I HATE the taste of fondant. Is it possible to do this with colored chocolate melts so that you can have colored dough?

Julia thanks for sharing I've made both the white wich turned out amazing. My roses are spectacular! But! The semi sweet is very sticky even after setting over night. I actually get better results with the white dough. Any suggestions, should I decrease the syrup?

Hi Julia In the UK we cannot buy corn syrup only glucose. As I understand the major difference between the two is the water content, glucose being much thicker. Do you have any idea how much water I should add to the glucose. I would be extremely grateful for any advice as I cannot seem to get a definite answer from any professional. Thanks in advance.

Hi Julia. I loved your video and found it to be very easy to follow. Thanks so much! I have a question about coloring white modeling chocolate. I live in China and the only white chocolate that is available is Dove. It has more of a yellow tinge to it. I put a bit of Wilton candy color in it (It was red, but I just put a bit hoping it would turn out to be a lighter pink.) However, it just looks more like a "flesh" color and really not to appetizing! I am wondering what I can do to get more of a pink color. After the over night setting period, can I add some more color and knead it in to it? I also have Wilton color gels. Can I just add a bit of that, even though it's not specifically for candy, or will that ruin the modeling chocolate? I am planning to decorate my daughter's birthday cake with it and want it to be perfect! :-) Thanks for any help you can give. Patty , Shangri-la China

You can't substitute glucose one for one for the corn syrup as it has less water in it; if you do, you will get a much harder dough. So that's likely your problem there. I can't say why your one with corn syrup did not work, because as you can see in the video, it works consistently for me. Though as I do mention in both the video and in the written recipe, you do need to work the dough through a pasta machine to homogenize it (and/or to knead it well) before working with it.

Thank you Mam
