It was mentioned on Sugar Rush..the lady who made the trout cake.
Can anyone tell us anything about it, and is it a product to buy or do we find a recipe somewhere?? What is the texture, flavor etc.

here is the recipe for elegant cheesecakes "wrapping paper" by susan morgan:

1 pound of belgium white chocolate
1/2 cup of corn syrup
food coloring (optional)

1)Melt chocolate slowly, fold in corn syrup until combined, wrap dough in plastic and let rest over night on counter.

2)divide dough into 3 parts, micro each section for a min. or so until soft. wear gloves to knead food coloring into dough. roll out dough with pasta machine or rolling pin about 1/8 inch thick. good lucck!

I can't answer your question, but I emailed Sugar Rush and asked them. I'll let you know as soon as I here something

hmmm, sounds like candy clay....or chocolate clay...

Is that what elegant cheese cake uses? I didn't know that.

: )

It is another name for candy clay although there can be some slight variations in recipe amounts and quality of chocolate or candy melts used.

adven68,
i wrote this recipe down awhile back when someone posted it on a different website, i've always been meaning to try it but haven't yet, sorry!

i have known people who's tried it though and the results were mixed, some found it easier to cover cakes with it because they say it doesn't tear like fondant, while others prefered fondant.

Chocolate Plastic

Chocolate plastic is a combination of pure chocolate with a sugar stock syrup - effectively glucose - which makes a chocolate malleable, enabling you to roll it out to cover a cake or hand mold it to create the fans, roses and leaves used in many of the designs shown here. Chocolate plastic has all the taste of chocolate, but with the texture of fondant and gives a smooth, firm finish to a cake. You can use chocolate plastic to cover a cake in exactly the same way as you would marzipan and fondant.

This is information from the book Spectacular Cakes by Mich Turner. Hopefully, someone finds this useful!
