I am guessing the Candy Clay tastes much better than fondant, and it seems that it is cheaper to make as well. Any down sides to it? Also, loved that you added the Bloopers! :D

@momof3fabdivas Ha ha- yeah, that was my husband's idea. :D The only real downside to candy clay is that it does get a little bit melty (since it is still chocolate), so if it is exceptionally hot in your kitchen, you might have trouble with it being too soft. Also if the decorated cookies are sitting in a very hot location it might start to melt. Otherwise, I like it a lot better than fondant. My family did taste testing, and everyone preferred the candy clay.

Hi!! thanks so much for the video! I had try to

make candy clay several times, but it doesn't work :( when I try to knead it, it gets grainy and crumbles. Any idea what I may be doing wrong? Thanks!

Love this Karen !!! Thanks so much for posting these followup vids to your Candy Clay. Here in Ontario Canada we have "Bulk Stores" where we can buy coloured Merkens chocolate dics. This is great infor tho for increasing the colour and or colours that are not available in the premade discs. Thanks a bunch ! Fabulous
