Hey everybody!!
I'm doing a wedding for 400 people for Saturday, and they want cream cheese frosting on absolutly everything! (Well, don't we all?) Anyway, My fridge is not big enough to hold 5 sheet cakes and a huge 3 teir square cake. So my question is does cream cheese frosting have to be refrigerated at all times? My greatest fear is to have everyone sick the next day from my cakes!! I can always transport them to the chuch and put it in their fridge for safe keeping, but if I don't have to that would be nice. I am going to start on Thursday. Thanks everyone!

I'd refrigerate everything - better safe then sorry!

Yeah, I'm wondering sort of the same thing. I'm just doing a small wedding cake with cream cheese icing, so i can keep it in the fridge, but i was wondering if it should be okay for a few hours out in the reception area?

I made a cream cheese crusting icing this past weekend for an Italian Cream Cake I made. The cake was out from Saturday about 12:00 until that evening at about 9:00 and the icing was fine. We ate on the cake until Monday morning and it was great all weekend. From what I understand you really don't even need to refrigerate it but I do for most of my cakes to keep the dog and cat out of it. I made a red velvet cake with cream cheese icing last week. It was the cake mix doctor's recipe and in the book it said that it would keep up to 1 week in a sealed cake storage container.
