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.

The design is absolutely fantastic. Im wondering if i could do the scroll work in Pastillage or gumpaste as I dont think my chocolate piping is up to standard. How long is it safe to leave the cake out of the freezer?
Because we have to keep the cake ready, decorated, in the freezer, I would not recommend any other material than Chocolate. Sugar base thinly done decorations will be affected by the condensation when you take out the cake from the freezer. How long is it safe? depends on the size of the cake. Thanks
Thanks so much
Hi, So you put the meringue on the cake and then back into the freezer till needed?
Thanks
Wendy
very beautiful
A very beautiful cake more like a piece of art but can you tell us where and how do you keep this cake until you are ready to serve it do you put it in the freezer of the fridge.
Thank you for sharing your talent with us I can only hope that I can be a third as talented as you are and I will be extremely happy witching your grandchildren a wonderful happy birthday ?
Another fantastic video. Will you be my grandfather :). I haven’t made anything yet I’m so involved with watching your videos.
Thank you – delightful! Please can we have back the sub-titles, for those of us who cannot hear as well as we used to? Also – I cannot find details of the candles you used, what size and where did you obtain them (a link perhaps?)
Hi Dawn, tutorials on our website have never had subtitles (with the exception of a couple). All our Youtube tutorials have subtitles because we use Youtube’s system to do it. For our website though, it is a manual and a very labor intensive process unfortunately. As much as we would love to have subtitles for all our premium tutorials, it is simply not possible at this time but maybe in the future. Regarding the candles, Serdar just purchased them from a local super market (Woolworths) in the party section. Thank you
