Icing tip 1: The coating chocolate won't have a nice texture if you heat it up to a high temperature.
-
20
If melting it in a microwave, heat it for a short time.

Icing tip 2: Melt the coating chocolate at about 60C, and keep warm in a 50-60C hot water bath to be able to cover the cakes smoothly.

22
Icing tip 3: if you want to cover the cakes with a thick layer of icing, take the icing out of the hot water bath to allow it to thicken, and then ice the cakes.
