What is the chocolate coating around the rim of the glass mugs?
It’s decorator gel. You can usually find it in the baking aisle or near the food colorings. You can use any color you like – or omit it if you prefer. I hope that helps!
Is the decorator gel flavored like chocolate?
I think most are flavorless – but a few do have flavor.
