Thank you 🙏 My compressor is the worst. The colors get stuck all the time that’s why I like to spread them with air until I get a more powerful compressor 😅
When you painted the light blue, the problem wasnt that there was too much. The problem was that you were too close when you started the airbrush. Instead of going in close and engaging the brush, start the brush far away and sloy work your way in. That will give you better control.
The colors I'm using come pre-tempered. But I'm clumsy and heat them up too high often, which kicks them out of temper. I've made a video about how I temper my chocolate and colors: th-cam.com/video/9RFiwXyXkOg/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps.
THANK YOU for these videos! I'm a new subscriber, so you may already have a video teaching this but I'd love to see a video on how you temper your chocolate for the shell!
Hi there, Down below I have an amazon affiliate link of the airbrush+compressor I'm using. It works fine for 1-2 molds but if you want to color more, I'd recommend a more powerful compressor :) Airbrush from Timbertech: amzn.to/3x8EtZP
Hello! Please can you do a video on how you warm up the coloured cocoa butter? I’m struggling to keep it in temper but runny enough to use! Thank you.. I love your videos!
Aww thank you!!! Good idea I put it on my list!! But in general I heat my colors up in a hot water bath (or microwave) until no more than 50% is melted, then I give it a good shake and use it.
They looked brilliant. Now I've got the same mold you using and have tried this a few times, but the chocolate won't come out of the mold, so pls can you tell me the TEMP of the chocolate before putting it into the mold. Thanks. 💙
@@angilearnshowtochocolate Hi, i use premium milk chocolate, and the colors i use are made only to mix with chocolate. No, i have never known anything about tempering choc, im just learning. I just melted the choc and poured it straight into the molds. I put it in the fridge and they all just got stuck, i had to scrape the choc out. x
Ahh ok got it! You will need to temper your chocolate. If you’re just starting to learn how to temper I’d recommend checking out the video below. It’s without a lot of fuss: th-cam.com/video/kKZEE4LAuzQ/w-d-xo.html But there are tons of videos on TH-cam about this topic. Here’s how I temper chocolate: th-cam.com/video/9RFiwXyXkOg/w-d-xo.html
The manufacture have data sheets on their website. You can check there what’s in the colors. But I’ve never heard about pork fat in those colors. Usually it’s cocoa butter + pigments + mica (glitter)
I've never worked with amerimist colors, but would say it depends on the thickness of the colors and your compressor. I often have a hard time getting my colored cocoa butter through my airbrush because my compressor is too weak. I'm more concerned that amerimist colors seem to be water based, which will not go well with chocolate. If you're looking for colors to paint your chocolate, stick to fat based colors. In my experience cocoa butter is the best carrier.
Oh yay!!! Have fun!! There are tons of really good places to get transfer sheets. Amazon is a good place to look for, but if you look for something more fun and higher quality I would take a look at the chef rubber website: shop.chefrubber.com/products/106/Transfer-Sheets/
I would love to make these, however I use alot of candy melts and not real chocolate, could the candy melts still be used in the mold after the cocoa butter is sprayed in? Thank you :)
Hi there, The different numbers are the size of the tip/nozzle and will determine how much color you spray through. Cocoa butter is really thick and a larger nozzle will make your life easier. In my set 5 stands for 0.5mm (that's the one I'd use) and 3 for 0.3mm (for more liquidy fluids).
After you put the colors in shouldn't you put an all white coat on BEFORE filling with the chocolate so the colors are not muted by the chocolate???? I really love the colors you chose. Can you please tell me is this just regular coloring or cocoa butter coloring?
Hi there, I‘m using colored cocoa butter. I think it’s just personal preference if you want to add a white coat before filling with chocolate. I love that some part of the chocolate is visible. But if you don’t like it sure add another layer of color :)
They look stunning! I have not seen the first two videos you made on the airbrush. Can you share what brand/model you purchased? It is overwhelming when looking at the various models -- Some are very expensive; some are not.
Haha I understand :) here’s the one I have. But I will most likely update my compressor soon: Timbertech Airbrush Compressor Kit ABPST05, Single Piston Quiet 1/6hp Compressor, Multi-purpose Gravity Feed Airbrush Kit with Airbrush Gun, Hose for www.amazon.com/dp/B00LO4PKY2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_AJEntMo3yBp4X
Emily: Practice blowing the color drops through a straw before you invest in a compressor and airbrush. Here, the compressor seems to be too powerful, or adjusted too high, or the brush held too close and the button pushed too hard, and perhaps a simple drinking straw might have worked well.
Sure you can do that, it’s probably the most obvious thing to do. But you can create a really beautiful design if you use the air and spread the colors that way 😊
For a whole mold I would recommend at least 300-400g. You need more chocolate because you need enough to fill the whole cavities. And you can reuse the remaining chocolate of course :)
@@anissadiraa5310 yes only for the shells I recommend 300-400g. After you have filled up your molds, you release most of the chocolate. But in order to create shells you need to make sure that all cavities are completely filled with tempered chocolate. If you only use 100g you probably can fill up 1/3 - 1/2 of your mold. Does this makes sense?
Right I get my cocoa butter already colored. I’ve never made colored cocoa butter by myself but I want to give it a try. I’ll record a video when I’m trying it out :)
@@shaakiracassim5144 I’ve never used it before, but colored cocoa butter is thick and I’d be worried that you don’t get it through the nozzle without extra pressure. It’s worth a try though. Let me know how it goes!
Yes it is important. The temperature shouldn’t be higher than 35C. I never melt my cocoa butter completely only to 30-50% so that I have enough liquid to paint my molds.
Thank you for this beautiful technique.. I wonder how you was able to have the colors shiny and clear on the dark chocolate directly without having a layer of cocao butter of white chocolate first?
ok got it. I like the colors from Chef Rubber and Roxy & Rich, but I’m sure there are other great brands that I don’t know of. If you don’t have access to those you could make them by yourself. But you will need powdered colors and cocoa butter for it. I don’t have a video about it (yet) but you can check out the link below. They explain how to do it: www.isugarcoatit.com/2018/09/how-to-make-coloured-cocoa-butter-video.html/
I’m will make a video about it :) in the meantime you can check out this blog post: www.isugarcoatit.com/2018/09/how-to-make-coloured-cocoa-butter-video.html/
If you don’t want to make the colors from scratch you can also buy them. I love colors from Chef Rubber and Roxy&Rich. If you live in the US it won’t be an issue to get them online but I don’t know about other countries.

@@safrahanan1571 ah got it :) When your tempered chocolate is cooling down it’s shrinking a bit. If you have a high quality polycarbonate mold the shrinking will happen very regular. With silicon this happens unregular and might leave lines or streaks. Hope this helps! I’ll have a video coming out in a couple of weeks in which I talk about it too

Thank you
Awww thank you! The colors I’m using come already tempered but if I heat them up to high I need to retemper them 🙃
@@angilearnshowtochocolate Thank you so much, but how can i check the ingredients of these colors to make sure it doesn't have alcohol or pork fat ?
The manufacture have data sheets on their website. You can check there what’s in the colors. But I’ve never heard about pork fat in those colors. Usually it’s cocoa butter + pigments + mica (glitter)
Why not use the spraygun to spray the cocoabutter?
it's just a fun thing to do. spraying is always the obvious option but I like splatters and chaos :) :) :)
Hi can we use manual airbrusher?
Colored cocoa butter is very thick. Therefore I don't think it would work, because you don't have the necessary pressure to push the colors through.
wooo its realy shiny by the way we can use the colors and the airbrush in cilicon moldes ?
you can give it a try, but you will not achieve the same shiny result :)
Hi Angie, can you use amerimist airbrush instead of cocoa butter when working with an airbrush ? trying to understand the difference here... thanks !
