Teach Soap

I have make Anne Marie recipe for bath balm cupcakes and frosting several times and just love, but I always end up with what looks like mold
between the frosting and the cup cake. I make sure I use a fo that does not contain vanilla because I thought that could be the problem first time. Does anyone have any ideas or diff recipe for frosting that I could try?
Thanks
Janie

You're not alone. This has happened to me three times in a row with a non-discoloring fragrance oil too. The only time this didn't happen was when I made an EXTREMELY thick meringue frosting that was very dry and piped it onto a piece of wax paper. I let it harden, peeled it off, and glued it on with melt-and-pour soap. I think the brown spots occur when the wet frosting hit the citric acid and some sort of chemical reaction occurs. I'm not positive, but that's my theory. Hope this helps!

Thanks Katie, Did you make just a plain Meringue frosting recipe that you would puy on a cupcake and eat.

I used the Soap Queen recipe but excluded the SLS so yes, I suppose you could eat it if I hadn't added fragrance oil and colorant.

Thanks again Katie, I just wondered if you used a recipe without the oil thinking it would be harder. I am going to try your way in the morning.
