Live and Learn

Keeping it real.
Working with candy melts isn't always easy.
Some days things go perfectly, other days there are issues.
I was making these Pete the Cat pops for a birthday party.
Everything was going along great until my last step.
After adding the nose and whiskers, the candy coating developed cracks along the nose line.
UGH!
I was devasted as I did not have time to make more and give a perfect product, but thankfully my client was OK with the slight imperfection in these pops.
She was delighted with how they turned out, despite the flaws.  She even told me they look amazing and better than she pictured they would be.
For that I was delighted and happy that she was understanding with the imperfections.
While I am still not 100% sure why the cracking happened, I have an idea and will make adjustments for the next time.
