Has anyone done this? I read that Elegant Cheesecakes does this. I was thinking about using red and blue candy melts in the chocolate plastic recipe to cover a ball shaped cake. I'm using MMF for the rest but I hate trying to get red when starting with white so I thought maybe the candy clay would work better.

What do you think?

me personally, I have a problem with the candy clay being too sticky to roll out. But that could just be me..

I've heard you can mix candy clay and fondant together, maybe you could do something like that then add more red to it.

My experince is candy clay sets in kinda of a tootsy roll texture. I don't like fondant cause of the chewy texture, and I'm thinking candy clay might be more chewy.
