A 250g pack covers about 25 to 30 classic cake pops (8g of Déco Melts per cake pop). For an 18-20 cm drip cake, plan 80-100g per cake.
How to thin Déco Melts that are too thick?
Add 1/2 teaspoon of neutral vegetable oil per 250g (sunflower or grape seed oil). Never add water, the mixture would harden immediately.
