Use Lifesavers to Keep Candle Wax Off Cakes

While a splash of wax on your cake frosting isn’t the end of the world you can easily keep the surface of your cake wax-free with the asssisstance of Lifesavers candies.

In the above video the stuff at Howcast, the how-to video site, share a simple trick for keeping cake wax-free. When you are setting up the candles on the cake place the candle firmly through the center of a hard and round candy like Lifesaver. Any wax that drips down the side will harden on the surface of the candy and not across the surface of your cake.

Can we still buy Lifesavers in NZ?
