Dark Chocolate (Compound)
Wikipedia
Some for crust coat.
Compound chocolate is a product made from a combination of cocoa, vegetable fat, and sweeteners. It is used as a lower-cost alternative to true chocolate, as it uses less-expensive hard vegetable fats such as coconut oil or palm kernel oil in place of the more expensive cocoa butter. It may also be known as 'compound coating' or 'chocolatey coating' when used as a coating for candy.

Isomalt

Isomalt is a sugar substitute, a type of sugar alcohol, used primarily for its sugar-like physical properties. It has only a small impact on blood sugar levels and does not promote tooth decay, i.e. is tooth-friendly. Isomalt is widely used for the production of sugar-free candy, especially hard-boiled candy, because it resists crystallisation much better than the standard combinations of sucrose and corn syrup. It is used in sugar sculpture for the same reason. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomalt

Can’t seem to find the LED lights they use used in the link doesn’t seem to work
Those kinds of products comes and goes. I am sure some other brands will do the job
Hi Yener, thanks a lot for this tutorial.
I noticed the cake you used has a beautiful crumb, it looks very moist and yet as you trimmed the sides it kept intact and didn’t crumble. Could you kindly share what recipe you used? Was it the white chocolate mud cake or the butter cake recipe?
Looking forward to hear from you.
All my recipes you can find at http://www.yenersway.com/recipes thanks.
Thanh you so much for sharing your incredable ideas with us.I am interested to know about the system of remote control.
