Made just last night! I wanted to use up my mango butter, so these are 78% Mango butter, 15% Coconut oil, and 7% Castor oil. FO was WSP Secret Wonderland, which is a creamy, fruity, slightly floral fragrance. It accelerated a little in addition to the recipe, but fortunately I only needed to pour 5 cupcakes, the rest became frosting as it was colored. I had to scramble, of course, but I was able to fill my piping bag as planned, and the batter remained workable and did not seize, so I'm extremely pleased.
Base is uncolored because I wanted the Slippery Elm Bark to show up, and I wanted the frosting to be the star (all the same batter batch). I've piped a lot of things, but a simple cupcake frosting swirl isn't one of them, and I was nervous about running out of frosting since that was the last of both the batter and the mango butter.
Overall, I feel this went very well.
