maybe i skid read the multiple color method for creating chocolate transfers in the book.. but how do you get thet water-colory look that they show in the whimsical bakehouse? Their cakes are so.. imaginative.

Are you talking about the icing itself? If so they just take a spatula and smear the colors overtop of each other

i think you kinda 'paint' the chocolate in the areas you want...i think w/a bristle brush. i don't remember if you use chocolate or straight icing/candy colors though. it took me a couple times to read through it before I caught on. i haven't tried it yet though. i think kinda show what they are doing in the picture w/the sunflower.

i don't have the book in front of me right now....so i could be wrong!! just trying to remember from what i've read w/the book.

hope this helps

I think they use a paint brush and flooding to create that look.
They definitely have a certain style to them, and it's cute.

They do use the fake chocolate.

what is fake chocolate? I thought they used wafer chocolate which I thought was something similar to candy melts.

That is exactly it, candy melts. It isn't real chocolate. Since it isn't real chocolate it doesn't have to be tempered and is easier to work with, but you sacrifice taste.
