Wherever you are, whatever time you’re reading this, I wish you nothing but the very best in life.

[@marymorales8609]

I've see this style of decorations everywhere and had no idea where to start, thank you for this very easy to follow tutorial! New sub

[@CakesbyLynz]

You are so welcome! I'm so pleased it has been useful. Thank you so much for subscribing and welcome to the channel

[@lapetitetarte4066]

so gorgeous! How would you suggest I stick these chocolate balls onto a buttercream cake?

[@2405Dorianne]

I love the way you explain super seemingly difficult things so easy

[@rebthirteen8012]

I’ve made the actual candy melt ingredients myself with white chocolate and 2 teaspoons of olive oil! Warm the white chocolate gently using a suitable bowl placed over a pan of water on a stove. Once chocolate has melted, add colouring and place in piping bag if you wish to make the candy rounds. If not place liquid ingredients into desired molds. Cheaper and less expensive than actually buying candy melts 🙂

[@alexey_ivanov1987]

There is no way white chocolate is cheaper than candy melts that doesn't have chocolate at all, just sugar and hydrogenated palm oil.

[@carolmeakins3578]

Brilliant tutorial, tank you. I'm planning on making these to decorate a cake in America! Will the candy melt baubles travel? xx

[@godsgift2916]

@CakesbyLynz, would these chocolate balls do well on buttercream cakes?? I see where several people are asking the same. And would that spray work on buttercream, as well? Please advise and thanks! Absolutely love this tutorial and would love to try it on a buttercream cake.

I’m making a two tiered buttercream cake with the candy modeled balls. Will they be okay if I store the cake in the refrigerator overnight?

Can I do this with dark chocolate?

Have you stuck yours to fondant ir a buttercream cake. I have one to do soon on a buttercream, wasn't sure how they would stick firmly to it. Love your cake x

How to stop it from sweating after taking out from the fridge?

[@sweetsbyshyee2552]

When you put it in the fridge, put the cake in the box and covered. When you take it out, the water condensation will be on the box vs the cake.

[@madina4748]

@@sweetsbyshyee2552 so when we take it out the fridge should the box stay, or we can remove it?

[@asmam.2729]

This is natural thing 🤷‍♀️ it’s like on glasses custumers will understand

Beautiful!

So pretty...love your work... greetings from Africa Zimbabwe...

[@BiggieeyBsmilesz]

Heyyy. Can I ask why the chocolate needs to be tempered?xx you’re channel is sooo underrated!! Love all your content!!

[@CakesbyLynz]

Hi Ricky, Yes of course, if you are using actual chocolate instead of candy melts it needs to be tempered. If you get a bar of chocolate this has already been tempered and this is what gives it its shiny colour, and the snap you get when you break it. If you melt it down and don't re-temper it, it will not set properly, so you won't get that snap when you break it. It will also be very dull looking, will melt really easily when you touch it and can also bloom, which means you get little white dots over the chocolate. By tempering the chocolate this won't happen. I really hope that helps. Also thank you so much, I'm so glad you like the channel and the videos. x

[@yr.nytmare6535]

Lynz! Can you make a pink baby dolphin cake topper.......and write a .. L.. On the cake 🥰

[@shikhaserene]

Can I stick directly on whipped cream base or butter cream base ??

[@iretiomoyefa5112]

Nice! Will this work with buttercream?

[@sharonSmith-by1ed]

I had to use candy melts to adhere spheres to buttercream cake as the ice spray didnt work

[@nataliegarrett8461]

How far in advance can you prepare the chocolate balloons?

[@karennetherland2327]

Thanks Lynz. This was so cool . I totally have to find me the silicone molds.

[@CakesbyLynz]

Hi Karen, You are so welcome. I have put all the links to where I got mine in the description under the video if this would be of any use.

Hola cuánto tiempo se pueden conservar gracias

[@riricreates]

Wow this is amazing 😍

[@adrianapurgar9474]

It is not tempered chocholate?

[@user-zs3lq2gk7x]

What the spray did you use?

[@CasseNoisette19]

Do I need absolutely this spray to fix them?

[@adeliadeguzman1957]

Will the balls stick with fondant?

[@adebayoarinola4519]

thanks for this post, so helpful. am i to put in the freezer before removing it or just allow it to dry on its own. thanks.

[@CakesbyLynz]

Hi, I usually just place the mould in the fridge to allow the candy melts or chocolate to harden, it doesn't take too long.

[@giardinodimarzapane786]

Grazie!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@danab172]

Is the spray ice for gluing them together? How do you glue the balls to the side of the cake especially if the cake is iced with buttercreme? Thanks.

[@nanmadineshan812]

Lovely

[@preetinair5500]

can we use this technique on a cake that has butter cream frosting?

[@lilianazapata9286]

Does the spray glue on buttercream?

[@sarshabuck8584]

This is so beautiful but how did you make your candy melts so nice and runny? Every time I use candy melt it goes so gluggy.

[@di-zirsmith2742]

Try adding a bit of oil to your melted candy melts to make it a bit more runny ;)

[@DianeMarie85]

Love your video!! But Candy melts in the US do NOT melt like this; they are not “pourable” no matter how long they’re heated, nor the brand. ☹️. Rats - thought I found an easy way to make sphere’s. Back to tempering white chocolate.
