Two nights ago, I completed two cakes with white buttercream icing and piped black japanese symbols. They looked great. When I got them to the reception yesterday, all the black piping had bled onto the white icing and made a purple-ish border around all of the black. Needless to say, I was horrified. I often use a black/white combination and this has never happened before.
Now, in a month, I have a wedding cake to do and of course, it's to be white buttercream with black piped scrollwork. How can I avoid this happening again? Does anyone know what might have happend to my japanese cakes? How can I prevent this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
