vegan melting candy

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My dd's birthday is in a couple of weeks and I plan to make the Diego

cake on the Nick, Jr. website. I have limited sugary experience.

Melting candies are called for and are to be melted and painted over a

template. The candy then hardens and the shape can be placed on the

cake without losing its shape. I cannot find an ingredient listing of

the melting candies online. Does anyone know of a VEGAN source?

Couldn't I use a double boiler and melt chocolate for the brown. Vegan

Essentials have Dairy free " white chocolate " chips. Has anyone used

them for this technique? Do they melt and then harden well (without

separating, etc.)? I thought I could tint them if they melted well.

 

I'm grateful for any vegan tips.

 

Thanks for you help,

Carrol
