I just finished a sheet cake with "Hershey's Perfect Chocolate" icing on it and I was hoping to complete the cake in full today. My problem is the event isn't until tomorrow afternoon and they want the greeting in a golden yellow. Will the chocolate bleed into the yellow?

I don't know if it makes a difference or not but the yellow is sewsweets crusting BTC and the hershey's icing uses butter and milk as opposed to any shortening or water.
TIA!

I've never had chocolate bleed into buttercream but I'm not familiar with these recipes.

if you stick the whole thing in the fridge you might be fine.........I'd either refrigerate the whole thing after you write on it or wait until the last minute to write on it......just in case.

I haven't used the recipes you mentioned but I do find that the darker colors will bleed into the lighter ones after a while.( especially overnight) So I always put the cake in the fridge so it gets really chilled and that seems to work just fine. I use crusting buttercream too.
