Does the crusting cream cheese icing need to be refridgerated? I'm not going to use it to ice the cake but use it as a filling. If someone could let me know I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks

I just pulled mine out of the fridge and it is rock solid.......I'm assuming you would keep it refrigerated until you need it. I actually had to microwave mine a bit to soften it enough to use, and it's still tearing my cake apart.

I would think so bc cream cheese always needs the fridge!

I use cream cheese icing all of the time. I do not refrigerate it. I use it and let the cakes sit out all day long. Of course they don't last long enough to worry about spoilage.

Once the cakes are iced I leave them out. If they are going to be used the next day, I will cover them with saran wrap and place them in the fridge overnight. I pull them a couple of hours before serving to get the icing to soften up a little.

Yep you have a couple of days at room temp at least. Cream cheese can be treated like butter.

Whether or not a cream cheese based frosting requires refrigeration depends on the amount of sugar/fat in the recipe.

Here's a safe storge chart for frostings and fillings:
