yes because it is a type of candy so there for u should incluide this
I'm pretty sure you can use any candy.
I wouldn't use chocolate chips in a fountain because there's a lot of stuff in them to make them hold together at high temperatures. If you go to somewhere like Michael's you can get "candy melts" that will be better.
if you want to coat the cake ball, no bakers chocolate will not set hard, use candy coating. Wilton makes them. Also in the states they sell something called "bark" it is in the baking section, same as candy melts. Yes, I have used bakers chocolate for coating. I add about a tbl spoon of shortening to about 6 oz of chocolate while melting.
You CANNOT use liquid food coloring---that will ruin the candy. You CAN use a paste or power food coloring purchased at a craft store like Michaels, Joannes etc or a cake/candy supply store. Also some gourmet cooking stores will have the right coloring. You can also buy candy melts from the same type of stores. They have red and pink candy melts. Also seen candy melts at Walmart in the craft/sewing section of the store.
Usually, yes.
You make a basic cake ball, dip it in white chocolate, let set/harden. Then you melt red candy melts and pipe on the baseball stitch design or use a toothpick with the melted candy melts to draw the stitching on. Another alternative is to draw the stitching on with edible markers. Americolor and some other brands have them.
It depends on what your making, but you could usually use chocolate chips or chunked chocolate.
no
Yes
A chocolate truffle is always a popular candy.
Candy or chocolate thermometers are very handy tools when candy making. Although you don't necessarily have to use one, it makes the process much easier.
To prevent thinning chocolate when melting it for baking or candy making, use low heat, stir constantly, and avoid adding any liquid to the chocolate.
