Tutorial: Mini Modeling Chocolate Ice Cream Cone… Two Scoops, Please!

 

Who loves ice cream?????

I can pretty much be convinced to do anything if ice cream is my reward. (I hear the gears turning in your noggin’… No taking advantage of my weaknesses!)

Well, I had a project recently that required an ice cream cone in modeling chocolate. But it needed to be about 3 inches tall. At the most. But y’all know me, I like detail and playing with my food.

So I thought. And I tried some things. And I threw some modeling chocolate across the kitchen, and started over. A few times. But then it happened!

I FIGURED IT OUT!!!

Watch my tutorial below :) A list of tools/materials is below the video. ‘Cause I know you’re gonna be adding ice cream cones to everything you do now. The waffle cone is too stinkin’ cute to avoid!

Tools and Materials:
  • Plastic canvas (fine sized)
  • Scissors
  • Clear tea lights, wicks and holders removed
  • Microwave safe ceramic dish (or small sauce pot)
  • Shallow ceramic or plastic dish
  • Avalon Cake’s DIY Mold Material (tute found here)
  • Pan spray
  • Small silicone bowl or large ceramic mug (microwave safe)
  • White modeling chocolate
  • Brown modeling chocolate
  • Pink modeling chocolate
  • Small rolling pin
  • Sugar glue (Tylose/CMC and water) you can also use piping gel or corn syrup
  • 2 Paint brushes
  • Size 804 round piping tip (large hole, tall tip)
  • Cornstarch dusting bag
  • 3.5 inch round cutter
  • #40 portion/cookie scoop
  • Americolor Ivory Gel Paste
  • Chocolate Brown Americolor Gel Paste
  • 1 twig of dry spaghetti… Yes. It’s technichal term, as per ME, is “twig” If you have a better name, leave it in the comments :)
  • Optional: styrofoam dummy, wire rack bumpy foam, skewer

*Seems like a lot… Really, it’s just very detailed. Most of everything here is standard in most sugary people’s kitchens.




OH! Outtakes at the end!!!!! It was the most fun for me to create 😉 And my littlest one, Munchie, debuts in his first sugar tute!
