(First time cake decorator)
Using ButterCream Dream and ButterCream for Frozen Transfers
I am making two cakes which require a lot of colours. I have read on here that you need to let colours sit for a while when using buttercream because they darken. I would like to make the icing next Thursday to use to decorate on Friday. If I mix the icing and add my colours can I leave them on the counter over night in air tight containers? If I have to put the icing in the fridge do I have to re-whip the icing?
Sorry for all the questions I just want to do things right the first time.
Don't expect a lot of color change unless they are dark colors like royal blue; brown; black; red etc.
And as the others said, most "American Buttercream" recipes can safely stay on the counter if properly covered for up to a week or two.
I doubt SMBC or IMBC could.
wow 
I didn't know BC could stay out that long.... I was wondering this the other day when i saw BC at the local bulk barn and it was not in the fridge ...hummm nthis is good to know... What th best way to keep out? Should be in a container or can I just use plastic wrap over the bowl?? As well can BC be frozen and if so for how long?
o and how long is Bc good in the fridge??
Thanks a buch u cc ppl rock!
In the frig it can be kept if in a well sealed container for up to a month - depending on the recipe used.
Yes, b'c can be fzn - again if in a well sealed container for over a year
Just covering a bowl w/plastic wrap is not enough. Best in a jar w/tight fitting lid, but Tubberwear type plastics are o.k.
I freeze all my colors in the decorating bag. That way when I do a cake I just pick out the colors I need and let them thaw out. Then they go back in the freezer until next time. Sometimes the icing gets thinner, but by the time that happens, I'm ready to fill a new bag anyway.
