Buttercream Turned Blotchy And Yellow??
Decorating By CakeRoxy19 Updated 24 Aug 2019 , 1:40pm by kakeladi

I am new to cake decorating and recently did this unicorn cake but I had a problem with my Wilton buttercream icing turning off white / yellow AFTER it was on the cake ?? Has anyone had this problem? Why does this happen?!? I am so proud of my cake all to have to frosting turn colors. Very upsetting!!

did you use butter/margarine and/or use real vanilla? and how long did you mix/beat it for?
the longer you beat your icing the whiter it will get — also please start a whole new thread to respond because:

Welcome to our forum! Sooo sorry your wonderful creation turned yellowish I know how it feels to have something like that happen:( You mention its Wilton icing but did you make the recipe or is it Wilton’s readymade/canned? Unless things have changed Wilton recipe tells you to mix ingredients very slightly-just until mixed but as K8 said the longer & slower it is mixed the better especially if using part butter Also the weather effects our work— was it hot & humid? Was the cake in direct sun? Along with not being mixed enough that could also do this
