Chocolate Animals (Twenty to Make)

This book had fun and very easy to follow instruction to make a variety of animals. I made a zoo cake for my grandson that looked great. I highly recommend this book.

Cute designs. Candy clay is heat sensitive so I am going to use modeling dough. Easy instructions. Quick accents for dressing up your fondant or buttercream cakes.

I was disappointed in the book itself as it basically took all of the same shapes to make all of the animals. It is a very small book. Not what I expected.

love the book

I have tried most of these cute animals and have to say they are very easy. Clear step by step pictures and great tips. All in a little book that's easy to store. Well worth buying this little treasure.

I love this book, it's been added to my collection.

Essendo una grande fan di questa autrice, il libro è stato una delusione perché in questo caso lei non ha dato certo il meglio di se. Non vale la pena acquistarlo. Gli altri della serie, meritano.

Frances McNaughton books are my favorites

I purchased this little book along with a few other sugarcraft ones from the same series. It provides a good recipe to make the modelling chocolate, some great hints on using it and some useful instruction on how to create some animals out of chocolate. The first ones I tried out where two cats and a tiny mouse :) (picture has been uploaded) You dont have to stick exactly with the positioning of the animals but the thing I found most useful was how the book weighs out the proportions of the head/body etc. So have some scales near by because its very useful. It means you can double the weight for a larger animal or half the weight for a smaller one. Nothing is too complicated in this book so is great if you are just starting out. Alot of modelling items can be done by following sugarcraft books/ideas too.
