I am making a cake right now for my Grandma and it has Dede Wilsons IMBC on it. I know you are supposed to serve IMBC at room temp (or it will taste just like butter).
Since dinner will not be until around 5 or 6, is it okay to leave out covered from now until then?
Thanks!

I got this quote from a chef named Jacques Torres who is selling a book on Amazon:

So, IMO since it's out only a few short hours, it should be fine! Make sure to post pictures!!

I've left mine out for longer than that with no problems. Just don't leave it anywhere warm or your decorations will wilt. You can also refrigerate (somewhere with no strong odors) and take it out an hour before serving.
