chocolate question

Hi all

Is it ok for me to melt dairy milk and place it on top of a cupcake?

Worried it might crack

Many thanks

  • I wonder if maybe you should melt a little bit of butter and/or cream into the mix and then it will set more like cake topping?

    I'm sure someone will be along who knows for sure!

    It's fine. Melted chocolate on its own will create a hard shell. If you want soft icing, add fat (cream, butter, cream cheese).
  • if you do use it, melt it on the hob rather in the microwave as this might cause it to split as i found out once!!
