It ultimately depends on the size and design of your cake, but as a general rule, you can use about 1/4 cup of chocolate chips for every 9-inch layer of cake. For smaller cakes, you can reduce the amount accordingly.
Semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips tend to work best for creating defined and visible polka dots on cakes. However, you can use any type of chocolate chips based on your personal preference.
You can melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until they are completely melted. You can also use a double boiler on the stovetop to melt the chocolate chips.
Absolutely! While chocolate chips are a popular choice, you can also use other types of candies or toppings such as M&M's, sprinkles, or even small pieces of fruit to create polka dots on cakes.
If you are using fresh fruit as the polka dots, it is recommended to refrigerate the cake. Otherwise, if you are using chocolate chips or other non-perishable toppings, you can store the cake at room temperature in an airtight container.
