Can I leave Sugar Shack's Icing on the counter? I did add a third butter and cut the shortening by a third. I think it should be ok, but just wanted to make sure.

Yes, it will be fine. I have found the biggest risk of leaving icing on the counter in my home is little fingers. Mmm Mmm. How do you like the 1/3 butter ratio?

I do all the time and its fine

It was my first time making the recipe. It taste great, but I had air bubbles in it. Thank god it's a fondant cake.

How long can I leave the icing on the counter?

Sure, you can leave it on the counter. But, wouldn't you rather put it on a cake?

did you use the whip to beat it? can't figure why ya got bubbles....
ask sugarshack she will help you figure this out

I watched the video and thought I followed the directions.

I have made her recipe many, many times in a 5 qt. Kitchenaid mixer. I almost always get at some air bubbles in it. I have found if I freeze the icing, thaw it and mix in a little more liquid, it comes out great most of the time. I'm not really sure what the freezing does to it but it works for me!

Add a little more liquid when you are mixing the icing - it increases the volume so your mixing bowl will be airtight and you will get rid of the bubbles.
