Candle Man Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I make bunt cakes but have a problem with the drizzle frosting.The wax I use for frosting now looks great and white when first poured. I do not pour to hot so as not to melt the cake or get any cake color in the frosting.My problem is after sitting on the shelf for a while under daily lights the frosting turns from white to a light brown color, not good enough to sell anymore.What single wax or wax blend would work to keep this from happening?

candlenose Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Do you use a UV inhibitor ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavenScentU Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 when I make frosting I add a tiny sliver of brown or tan to make a cream cheese color. Sometimes I will use white but not too often because over time the color does turn yucky! Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenT Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I was going to ask the same thing.I haven't had a problem with turning colors since I started using it....even had my candles outside in the sun doing fairs and such...and have no problem since.

Candle Man Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 Totally forgot about UV. I will add it to my frosting and test it again, Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in KY Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I tried UV and it did not work for my embeds bleeding. I assume this is the same thing. The icing is pulling the color from the cake. The only thing that works for me is J300 wax. I bought a slab just to add to icing and embeds.

I'll also try some different wax blends and see what works.How about a soy container with a paraffin pillar wax? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in KY Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I use soy container and have tried... Clean wax, KY's Perfect, natural votive blend/Stra & Pitch ? and J300. Have found when I mixed J300 with soy it makes a great icing and mixing Clean wax with J300 it makes good embeds. Neither is perfect but it's better than what I had. Since I have trouble with my soy looking dry after awhile adding the J300 to the topping really keeps this from happening. Right now I have a batch of soy that is not as drying so for the holidays I'll be ok but still adding the J300 for the icing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
