Okay, I found the crusting cream cheese recipe on here. It looks fabulous! So, I have to make a carrot cake for a company banquet next month and would like to use this recipe. Can anyone tell me if it's okay to sit out for a little while? I figure the carrot cake will get iced the day of the banquet. (I'll make the cakes the day before)...just want to know if it holds up well (and won't spoil) if it sits out for a couple of hours. Thanks!

I have used this recipe many times and it does hold up well and because of the amount of sugar in the recipe it is ok to sit out for a bit. The lady who runs baking 911 comissioned a study re: icing and refridgeration and a similar recipe was tested and it was ok to sit out. If I can find the link I'll post it!

I have used this recipe a few times, and it was fine to sit out for a few hours. I wouldn't leave it out overnight, but it should be fine for your event.

I use it all the time, and it's even sat out overnight, if you look at my pics, I did the Bart cake for my daughter, it tasted just as good the next day! Of course, it was really crusted the next day, so I would put it in the fridge since it's for a customer. YUMMY!

*WHEW*...that makes me feel better. The only type of cream cheese frosting I've ever made was more of a filling...it was cream cheese, milk, some vanilla flavor and sugar...lol...I roll it up in crescent rolls and bake. I was at a total loss as for how to decorate a cake with it! LOL...Glad this crusting recipe was posted on CC.... icon_smile.gif

oh you are going to love it! It is so yummy, I bake cakes on the side, and it's my most requested recipe.
Good luck on your turn out!

I'm really excited. The whole company banquet thing is pretty much left up to me with one exception. There has to be a carrot cake..and what is a carrot cake without cream cheese frosting! Lol... Thanks EverlastingSweets!
