MELT + MIX: Confetti Cakes are heat-activated wax paint palettes made for paper, collage, and heated plate play—designed to melt, blend, and brush on for rich color and texture

A new way to experience the LUMINOUS Winter palette—even if you own the PIGMENT BATS, the tin format unlocks new blends, textures, and ‘studio remix’ color stories.

MELT + MIX: Winter Landscapes Confetti Cakes is a moody, earthy remix inspired by the Luminous Winter color story—deep berry woods, evergreen shadows, warm stone neutrals, and a night-sky blue that glows with silver shimmer sparkle.

Confetti Wax Cakes are a pigment-rich, multicolored heat-activated wax color tool poured in a 2 oz stainless steel tin.

HOW TO USE:

Warm the tin on a hot plate or griddle to melt and mix custom palettes
break chunks or pieces from the confetti cakes for mark making and drawing
mix pieces of confetti cakes to create custom colors
paint wax onto paper
stain papers & build collage layers
pull printmaking textures. They also blend beautifully with wax medium or oil paint to create dimensional, tactile surfaces.

These Confetti Wax Cakes were born from my favorite studio moment: the in-between stage—when the table is a mess, the scraps are gorgeous, and the “leftovers” are actually the start of your next color story.

Think of them as a cake-format variation of #tracibautistaCOLOR MONOPRINT WAX sticks/bars, poured and layered into a reusable tin, then topped with a confetti-like mix of wax bits, metallic flakes, micro glitter, and pigment-rich fragments. Each tin is a tiny landscape of possibility—made to be warmed, remixed, and reimagined as you build custom palettes, explore wax resist, create warm collage layers, and play with heated plate textures and print pulls.

They’re designed to play beautifully with your whole wax toolkit: PIGMENT BARS, Printmaking Wax Bars/Wax Sticks, and your monoprint crayons—mix them together on a hot surface and watch your color families evolve.
