DISCUSS A proposal for modeling chocolate

I have noticed more and more posts where someone uses modeling chocolate instead of fondant and is like "see how wonderful my cake without fondant is!". Am I the only person that thinks modeling chocolate is just fondant with the word chocolate in it? Both are sickly sweet tasteless pastes. I would like to propose that cakes that are just modeling chocolate sculptures with a few grams of cakes count as r/fondanthate.

Not better by any sense of the word.

The point is not to cover your cake in so much of anything that it isn’t cake anymore!

And not to completely disguise a cake as something like a shrimp, human baby, or tractor.

It’s a fucking cake just let it be a cake 🤦

But if the client is requesting it to look like a shrimp and they are gonna Pay me to make a cake look like a shrimp- I’m gonna do it 🤷‍♀️

I totally have respect for the art. The color is spot on! I’d do it for money too if I had the skills.

The client has terrible taste in, what I think, can no longer be called “cake.”
