\"Mod These bright and cheery mod dots are sure to bring a smile to anyone\u2019s face! They\u2019re a fun, simple, and delicious way to bring color and design to any cake in any season. I went with a cool combination of spring brights, but this design would work with any color palette.<\/p>\n

In all of my chocolatey, candy-coated projects<\/a> around the web, one of the most frequently asked questions is how to keep chocolate or coating chocolate fluid while you\u2019re working with it. My secret – a heating pad<\/a>! Yes, the same heating pad you use to soothe that achy back after hours of caking. It keeps melted coating chocolate<\/a> at the perfect runny consistency for as long as you need to use it. If you\u2019re working with regular chocolate (couverture) be sure to check your chocolate frequently to make sure it hasn\u2019t fallen out of temper.<\/p>\n
