I made my own, and called them Christmas Presents. Some of the shapes were ovals, squares, and hearts. I used the left over make n'mold chocolate pieces from previous projects. I used the colors Orange and Pink molds, because they were the most colors I had left.
Did you know that if you want to color your chocolate buy Wilton gel coloring. It is not the same as using the liquid color drop you use for cookies. I had light pink colored chocolates, so I added the Rose colored gel made by Wilton to make it more of a hot pink color!!! I love pink, and I thought it was just perfect!!!
I have to make them in about two weeks, because I have another Christmas party to go to, but this time I think I am going to do some piping on them. I wanted to do some piping on them yesterday, but I did not have enough time.
On Friday I bought Andes Candies I figured I would crush them up and put them on top of some of the presents I made. Some different. There was sprinkles of all kinds, and I put green and red m&m's on top of some of the presents. They turned out super cute!
One of the guys that at the club said when he get extra money he would pay me to make him a whole bunch. But I make them anyway. They are a lot of fun, the best part is you can be creative and come up with your own. When I have time I would love to come up with a shooting start cake pop. It would be a challenge!!! :D
The Presents as a tower!!!! Look at all that pink!!
Doesn't that look cute?!?!
Cake in the pans, before they went in the oven. Those are 9" cake pans!
The crumbled cake and cream cheese icing before I combined them together.
Andes Candies, before I crumbled them all up!! They are soo good!!! yummy!
Andes Candies now in pieces!!!
Sprinkles and other cute little things!!!!
When it comes to dipping the presents, I chilled the presents in the fridge before I started dipping them for about a half hour. You can put them in the freezer to make them colder..faster. But you do not want them frozen!!! I put parchment paper down on the cookie sheet. Then I dipped the bottom of the presents, then put them in the fridge for about 12 minutes to the chocolate hardens. Then I dipped the top of the presents, then put the sprinkles, m&m's or anything you deserve on top before the chocolate hardens. Then when all of them are done place back in the fridge. I would take them out as soon as you are ready to serve them.
I hope you like my little presents...if you have any questions about the process please feel free to comment and ask I would be happy to answer!!!!
