White Modeling Chocolate
White Modeling Chocolate
Modelling chocolate can be a bit tricky to master but the right ration and correct temperature is the trick. This is White modeling chocolate recipe I use.
How many times have you tried to make modeling chocolate? especially white modeling chocolate and have it split on you. I’ve had my share when I just started off. Most often when I’m in a haste; that’s when I’d screw up.
What’s the best method?
This is the simple and easiest way to make white modeling chocolate without any splitting or curdling. I have used this recipe with good quality Callebaut chocolate, candy melts as well as regular super market brand chocolate chips.
Uses of modeling chocolate
Modeling chocolate can you used in many creative ways in cake decorating from simple chocolate roses to covering a cake too just as I have done here in my Hanging Birdhouse cake.
White chocolate is of course just cocoa butter so caution is your best friend. There are many various recipes online and some work, some don’t. Why? I think it’s based on the type of chocolate you use.

Modelling chocolate can be used in many many ways, not just roses – you see these squares that my Aadi put on his Mine-craft cake last year?
These are white modeling chocolate squares I colored. Was fun putting the squares together but also eating them simultaneously. He even made the topper himself. Modeling chocolate can be fun for kids projects.
My method
In this post and video I will show you a very simple recipe that has worked for me EVERY single time with various different brands of chocolate.
Like I said I have used good quality Callebaut as well as regular super market brand chocolate chips to make this white modeling chocolate recipe.

Substitute for Light Corn Syrup
I do know that some of you do not get Light Corn Syrup where you are. A good substitute for Light Corn Syrup is Glucose Syrup. But Glucose Syrup is very thick compared to Light Corn Syrup. So all you have to do is add a few teaspoons of water to the Glucose Syrup to bring it to the consistency of Light Corn Syrup. Remember only a few drops (May be two or three no more) Then use the same quantity as above in your recipe.
Watch the video carefully. As I said above White Modeling Chocolate is a bit more sensitive than Dark Modeling Chocolate so stay focused and follow the instructions well and you should have no problem what so ever.
Don’t forget to check out my videos on how to make Dark Chocolate Roses, White Chocolate Roses and how to Color white modelling chocolate. All coming up, you will find it here on my blog or my you tube channel and you can get all up dates on my Facebook Page.

Hello Veena! I am new to your site, but I have to say I LOVE it! You have helped me in so many ways. I am pretty much self taught (through wonderful sites like yours) and bake from home. I have only starting baking for outside of my family this past year. So, I would like to thank you for being so generous in sharing. That being said, I have been searching your site on how to color white molding chocolate (love your tutorial by the way)and I seem to be unable to find anything. Do you have a tutorial out for that yet or just a “how to” page? Thanks in advance! ?
Natalie!! thank you so much for the lovely comment. So happy to hear that my work is helpful. Appreciate you taking the time to write.
I do have a video on how to color modeling chocolate. You can actually use regular gel colors. I use Magic Colors gel colors or Americolor works too.
Unlike chocolate, modeling chocolate works with gel colors.
I have a video on you tube and perhaps here on my page.
Thank you for such a quick response!
Hi Veena,
I followed the instructions, however I missed to follow that we should not over mix the corn syrup with melted chocolate. Consequently, the mixture became crump and started leaving oil. What a waste. Will try again. Thank you
Yeah.. that is why I made the video darling. It is a common problem so don’t be harsh on your self. I’m sure the next one will be perfect <3
Hello Veena, first, thanks for your generosity in teaching us and sharing your recipes and knowledge. Would like to know if is possible to know which brand of chocolate chips do you use to make white or the other types of modeling chocolate ? Also, have you used candy melts disk by Wilton?
Thank you in advance,
Mercedes
Hi Mercedes,
You are welcome. I usually use 70% Callebaut dark or white chocolate. But I have use White Chocolate Chips as well as Wilton Candy melts and they work perfectly fine as well. <3
