Ok, so I was unsuccessfull in finding chocolate satin ice fondant locally. So I am going the faux fondant direction. My question is, can I make chocolate crusting buttercream? I've never even made regular crusting BC LOL. How do I modify the recipe for the chocolate? Sorry for so many questions, I'm new to all this cake stuff. Thank you so much to anyone that can help me. |

I think all you have to do is add about 3/4 cup chocolate cocoa powder or 3, 10z squares melted chocolate per recipe plus some additional water (maybe 1-2 tbls) since the chocolae will thicken it up. i've never tried it, so i can't vouch for the taste. good luck |

I always use Wilton's basic BC and add the cocoa. I personally like the taste of Nestle Tollhouse cocoa better. And then add additional milk until you get the right consistency. |

Yes, chocolate liquer is alcoholic. You may be able to just use extra milk or chocolate milk. I don't know whether the alcohol would evaporate making it thicker than if you used milk, but even so, there's not that much alcohol in liquer - I think it's somewhere around 15-20%. Maybe just reduce the amount you add to 4 oz (1/2 cup) instead of 5 oz. |
