I have a problem!! I used the recipe from this site "Crusting Buttercream Icing (VIVA Method)" and the cake has been sitting for an hour so far (with just a thin crumb layer), and it's still really soft!! It hasn't crusted at all!! I need to smooth it out so I can finish decorating... the cake is for tomorrow, so I don't have time to do something else... does anyone know what is wrong?? I followed the instructions EXACTLY... anyone else have this problem? What do I do???

Stick it in the fridge for a bit, that will help. That's the only icing I like so I am really familiar with it.
