chuck_35550 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) I have a request to make Mardi Gras king cakes and cupcakes. I found the baby silicone molds and am searching for bright yellow jojoba beads but I'm not sure about an fo. Anyone have a suggestion?

ProudMarineMom Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Don't know if it's what you are looking for, but both NG and MMS have a FO called Mardi Gras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 Thanks for the info. NG has an article about a lady who has a business making King Cake soap and she uses the original coffee fragrance but I would like to have more of a cinnamon/almond coffee cake kind of fragrance KWIM?

ProudMarineMom Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Well, I'm not much help there because I'm not much of a bakery scent person. Another member has been trying to broaden my horizons and have found a few that I like. The closest to that combo I have would be Guinevere's Attraction from Moonworks. But, that is more of a vanilla base, no cinnamon or almond. Still would be nice in soap. I don't have the links here at work, and I know the searches are not working the best right now, but there are one or two threads with recipe blends the mix masters have come up with. I'll try to remember to post them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 You know I have never had a King Cake. Am I deprived or what?!! Funny cause I lived in Baton Rouge for a couple of years back in the 70s and never heard of it. Been to a few Mardi Gras and will never forget "throw me sumthin mistar" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitn Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 That sounds like a lot of fun to make, I hope it all turns out for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayougirl Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I did a mardi Gras soap in 2010, I used a Cinnabon type (#300) scent (WSP) and it was okay, but kind of faded. I used yellow and green oxide and ultramarine purple for the colors. It came out okay, but most people just used it for pretty soap in the guest bath. The last couple of years I haven't made any specifically for Mardi gras, I do soap for Christmas gifts and then valentine's is 6 weeks behind new years. Good luck.

ProudMarineMom Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Well, here's one of the threads on blends. Thought I had another one. Don't know if you want to mix your own or not. Might give you some ideas.http://www.craftserver.com/forums/showthread.php?92714-Blend-Creations&highlight=blends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 I'm glad you dug that thread up, cause its a good one. Maybe I just need to buy a King cake and see what it smells/tastes like but my research says it is a yeasty coffee cake with cinnamon and or chocolate/almond. I have a silicone bundt pan and plan to pour the three colors first for the top of the cake and maybe use strawberry or raspberry and then pour the bottom half with the almond cake fragrance. I have kelly green and bright purple medium jojoba beads on hand but not getting the bright yellow beads yet. The white beads look like powdered sugar and then just a little glitter and of course the baby in the middle. I'll post some pics when it gets done and the cupcakes should be fun too.
