Modeling Chocolate Flowers
A thick paste made of chocolate and glucose, which can be molded by hand into decorative shapes.
Modeling chocolate is a chocolate paste made by melting chocolate and combining it with corn syrup and/or a simple syrup (made from table sugar and water).
Also called plastic chocolate, this is melted chocolate with corn syrup added to make a firm, flexible dough-like texture that can be molded into shapes and decorations such as flowers.

Modelling Chocolate is my new best friend...
Chocolate cupcakes with vanilla/milk chocolate buttercream. Decorations made from modelling chocolate
My sister made me some modelling chocolate (she knows what gets me excited lol!) in white and dark.
It's the MOST INCREDIBLE THING EVER!!! You can mold it like fondant, colour the white chocolate, it's easy to make, dries semi hard, can do intricate details without supports (the feelers on the butterfly), needs no dusting wth icing sugar/greasing to cut it or stop it sticking to your hands, and it sticks together without glue!
Perfect for those of you who think fondant is evil tasting - this stuff tastes like Tootsie Rolls.
She's glad to share the recipe:
10 oz chocolate
1/3 cup glucose syrup
Melt chocolate, wait for it to cool a little. Warm glucose syrup in microwave for a few seconds and add to melted choc. Stir until all glucose is mixed in. Should form into a ball. Do not over mix! Pat down into a container lined with greaseproof paper. Goes quite hard, but you can make it pliable by kneading it with your fingers.
