Funny how the Americans call chocolate 'candy'.  It threw me for a minute there when I received my cake cup mould and read the recipe on the pack.  What do they call chocolate then  ???

It is odd, isn't it? I've no idea what they call normal lollies.

Hi all,
I am planning on making these with the Oreo mix for my DS' 6th birthday next Thursday. I want to decorate them as Puffles (from Club Penguin http://clubpenguin.com/) as he is having a Club Penguin party. I have a few questions. I would do a practice run but as we are trying really hard to not eat too much naughty stuff I don't think it would be a good idea...

The plan was to make and decorate them on Tuesday and keep them in the fridge. From reading all of the other posts I assume this would be OK?

Puffles come in multiple colours and have spiky hair. I had white Nestle melts and was going to colour it with Queens liquid colouring but am wondering if there is a better idea?

Also, I was going to use the smaller bamboo skewers which I see others have done, but I wanted to check if this worked out OK or if I should make the effort of getting "proper" lolly pop sticks?

Thanks in advance,
Kerryn

KerrynN I could be wrong, but I was under the impressions that the Queens liquid colouring would seize the chocolate and that you need to use a powder. Hopefully someone can confirm this either way so Tuesday goes as smoothly as possible for you  :)

I used it for some that I did and it didn't seize but for some reason it is not recommended - they use a powder don't they maddy?

From what I understand, the normal Queens food colouring is water-based, and wont mix properly with the chocolate,  Apparently cake decorating shops sell a powder for colouring chocolate which is oil-based and mixes in well.  Alternatively, you you can get pre-coloured candy melts, which are just like coloured choc melts - again from cake decorating shops or Spotlight.

Good luck!

Yep, Karens right.  Queens colour will seize the choc.
As an alternative, you can make a royal icing, and pipe that for spiky hair and let set (then you can use the water based colouring).
Re bamboo sticks......it may work, but it won't be as stable on the skewers, like the thicker lolly pop sticks.  Try dipping the skewer in melted choc first, then insert into cake and let set. 
Hope it works out for you.....let us know how you go  :)

Well the Puffle Pop Cakes were a success! For those of you who don't know, Puffles are the pets of the penguins that live on Disney's Club Penguin.  The look like this:

I used coloured coconut for their hair, and coloured white Nestle chocolate melts using powdered colouring for the bodies. For the sticks, I got some balloon sticks from Spotlight and DH cut them in half. Mini marshmallows for the mouths and eyes. I used feed corn (left over from another craft activity) to stand them up in. Worked OK but as soon as one moved the others close by tended to shuffle about too, so I would try something else next time. Oh and they tasted good too.

Thanks to Tina, my "official photographer" for the day. Thanks to everyone on the forum for your advice too.

Ummm I have posted photos to Flickr and tried to add them here but they aren't working.... and now I can't see how to add photos at the bottom of the post either..... I will add the links to the photos instead.
