hope picture makes it now

I have made birdseed cakes with a recipe of flour & water & karo & seeds. The first ones were perfect. Then when I made some later, they turned whitish before I even got them out and the birds wouldn't eat them. Actually looked a little moldy. Anyone know why?

Hi! I'm not sure what Karo is... but maybe they were whitish & a little moldy looking from having a bit too much of one of your ingredients in it? Did you make sure that you used the same measurements & same freshness of ingredients?

I'd love to know the actual reason!

I recently received 2KG of bird seed free w/ my purchase at the local garden shop, and I would love to make seed cakes for the birds in our backyard! The wind has been so high as of late that I feel like if I fill up my feeders the seed will just blow away and I won't get to watch them enjoy it!

Let me know if you figure out why this has happened! :)

Best recipes use unflavoured gelatin
& cookie cutters as molds. If mixture does not dry quickly, you'll have a mold/fermentation situation...
