I could really use some help on this one. I have a wedding cake due in July and she wants all buttercream. The last time I used the buttercream it was humid and I believe it melted. I am really concerned about this one because her cake is to be outside 
Please help me with how to keep this cake from melting - especially when I am frosting and smoothing.
Mine doens't melt. I'm so confident that I should offer a "double your money back" if it ever does!

I'll second that!!! I'm in Texas and indydebi's recipe has held up in the outrageous humidity we have here

Did your bride specify a BUTTER-based buttercream? There are plenty of good shortening-based buttercreams that won't melt in the heat (SugarShack has one, I have one that I developed for our Houston climate, etc), but if the bride wants one with real butter, she's gonna be out of luck....but you'll need to find out what she is expecting so there is no confusion.
She is not expecting a butter based icing. In fact, I had her taste test one that was just made with shortening and she loved it. I will try indydebi's recipe. I trust her knowledge on this one. Does this recipe smooth nicely with the paper towel method? Indydebi, what are your tips for success with your recipe?
