I made chocolate-covered strawberries as horse Pokémon!

I was inspired by Koalipops’ unicorn dipped strawberries and @ill337erate​‘s Flaaffy berry cupcakes and have been meaning to make these for weeks!

More photos and info on how I made them below!



I started by cleaning and drying the biggest strawberries I had. I then melted some white chocolate WIlton melting wafers in the microwave and dyed them a soft ivory colour with food dye. Grasping each berry by the leaves, I dunked them in the chocolate and set them aside to cool.



Meanwhile, I scooped the rest of the chocolate into a ziplock bag and cut off a small tip. I used this to draw little triangles of varying shapes and sizes on parchment paper, which would be ears and Rapidash horns. I made smaller triangles for the insides of the ears with melted milk chocolate, and set them aside to harden.



I gave the Ponyta and Rapidash eyes chocolate, and made little nostrils using a sharp toothpick. I added the ears with a small dab of melted chocolate, carefully holding each ear in place until the chocolate hardened and they could stand on their own. (My partner thought the Ponyta looked like somber little ghosts before I added the whites to their eyes, haha.)

The manes were fun to do! I used red and yellow melting wafers and swirled the colours around to try to get that fiery look! I added the horns on the Rapidash while the chocolate was still tacky. The ears and horns were surprisingly sturdy!

Ponyta is my all-time favourite shiny Pokémon, so I knew I had to recreate it in strawberry form! For the shiny mon, I just used dark and light blue chocolate for the manes, and I added a light sprinkling silver luster dust to their faces and a thicker coat for the Rapidash horns!



I really love how these came out! I’ve only made dipped strawberries a couple times before, and this was my most intricate attempt. It was a really fun project, and the results were so sweet!



Thanks for reading!
