Frequently asked questions
How many cake pops can I coat with 1 pack?
One 250g pack coats 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 set immediately.
Difference between Déco Melts and Wilton Candy Melts?
Fun Cakes Déco Melts are the European equivalent of Wilton Candy Melts (American brand). Similar composition (sugar + vegetable fat), identical uses. Fun Cakes are vanilla-flavored by default.
Can white Déco Melts be colored?
Yes, but only with fat-soluble food coloring. Water-soluble gel colorings cause Déco Melts to set instantly. Prefer the pre-colored version to save time.
Red tip?
Red stains clothes and work surfaces permanently: wear a disposable apron when melting.
