Yes, just water and the heat from your ands is enough.

Queen is great, the small bags of Bakels pettinice work well too. I try to avoid overly oily brands and will adjust the texture of whatever fondant I have with a few droplets of water until it is similar in texture to the Queens brand one.

I use cornflour all the time no issues.

Yes, sunflower oil. Cornflour does not work for 2 tone.

Hey man! What is the white powder you are dusting with? Thanks!@@robertharwood9787

Oh thank you 😊 Gotta try the oil ❤

Lol, that’s the best review ever. Thank you :) I’m pleased it works well for you.

In the unlikely event it’s going to be eaten just room temperature in a box it will be fine for about a fortnight. Otherwise if it’s purely ornamental just out in the open it will survive months and months. I have had one on display in the open on my bench for 2 years and it still looks good :)

I prefer modelling chocolate because it’s so much faster. But for competition work or for things I’m making ahead of time noting beats a good gum paster wired flower. :)

It’s Korean made corn syrup. Sometimes it’s sold as “white” corn syrup. There’s a few different brands and they’re all good. I prefer the Korean version because it’s alcohol free unlike the Karo which can have alcohol in it from the vanilla flavour. It means the resulting modelling chocolate more inclusive. Korean grocers and some Pan-Asian supermarkets will stock it.

You’re more or less correct but it depends on the kind of art you’re doing. I still use the art style red blue yellow for basic stuff that uses natural pigments, but they don’t make up a full enough spectrum of colour. As a fine art painter I still get infuriated by watercolour pallets and ranges of oils and acrylics that don’t contain an untinted magenta style pink or an untinted bright sky blue (cyan). It makes it impossible to mix all the colours I want especially purples and warm bright greens. When I incorporate the CMY colour theory into what I have available to me my art is less muddy and colours I want are a bit easier for me to achieve. With Traditional red, yellow, blue Mmixing blue and red makes a muddy, more maroon purple than the bright purple that I want. With a bright purple (assuming it’s not included in the paint range) I can go on to tint or tone it to get exactly what I want. In reality I use edible powder colour for most of my bulk chocolate and sugar flower work, and in my polymer clay work too (the edible bit is moot at that point lol). I buy red because real red pigment is always going to be chemically superior to one that is made as a subset of two other colours. With food however and some art knowing that magenta- hot pink and yellow make red allows me to colour correct more accurately when mixing dyes and pigments for buttercream and chocolate. If it’s too orange, adding just a bit of magenta pink will knock it back into the red side of the colourwheel. I also buy bulk yellow, bright blue, hot pink, white and black and I can make any colour I need using them. In traditional painting art terms being stuck with Prussian blue, pthalo blue and a cerulean that is usually heavily toned make life harder for me but starting with or incorporating a cyan or bright sky blue when possible I can get a cold or warm blue and all the other shades, tints and tones I need with combos of black white and pink and yellow. when I am working with the more traditional colour wheel I can tweak it how I want more effectively without the colours getting muddy by using the CMY colour wheel. It’s not possible to create a bright sky blue cyan colour (untinted) without a lot of effort. But all the variations of blue are achievable starting with a pure and true cyan. You are absolutely correct however, the CMY system breaks down in real life with real artist oils and acrylics, similar to why it struggles with the colourmill range. True cyan/sky blue is rarely sold without a white tint, the closest colour available is usually over tinted cerulean. Similarly in art circles magenta is almost always a more more red/purple than a true unadulterated hot pink magenta. The traditional colourwheel works because of how paints are made using the limitations of real life pigments. But incorporating true CMY colour theory really does augment the traditional RYB and make it easier and fast to get brighter truer colours. With art it’s ultimately subjective, use whatever works best, but it’s also really fun and useful to incorporate other approaches and can really help :) I’m grateful that copic markers have hundreds of colours available and that most good oil paint, acrylic and watercolour companies make enough options to make it less relevant. But especially when starting out it’s great to be able to reliably get the colours your want or a close approximation with just a few colours without having to buy dozens of colours.

Could be the cocoa butter content or brand of chocolate. When it’s crumbly I warm it up slightly and knead in a few droplets of water at a time until it’s not crumbly any more. :) Hope it comes back together for you:)
