My marshmellow pink fondant is a beautiful shade of pink when I apply it to the cake , within a few hours it fades and is a very pale shade of pink. What is happening ? It ruins the look of my cake. It is driving me crazy!!! HELP!!!!
Pink and red like to fade in the light, especially if they're in the sun. The fading wouldn't be such a bad thing if it happened evenly, but usually it doesn't. I've noticed that Americolor fades less than Wilton.
HEre's why red fades ... been happening since the late 70's: http://cakecentral.com/cake-decorating-ftopict-653200-red.html+dye
I had trouble getting the pink I wanted on my MMF the other day, and it kept looking more and more mauve. Then I thought I'd try to paint it, and it worked beautifully! I just got a little lemon extract and pink and brushed it on. It turned hot pink (which was what I was looking for), and it stayed that way.
I guess it could be the flor. lights. I usually have to leave the boxes open because of the heighth of the cakes. I need to come up with a way to box them so they will not fade. Thanks for the insight!!
