I am icing a cake with a "whipped cream" recipe and my icing is oozing down the side of my cross cake. I used the "dreamy whipped" icing recipe and this is the second recipe i have tried. Should I refrigerate the cake and the icing before I continue?
was it under beaten? or if you had other ingredients, such as cream cheese, did you beat it all together or fold them together after doing them separate. if all together it can cause it to be runny. share your recipe and how you made it so that we can help pinpoint the cause and hopefully a resolution.
I don't think I under beat it, i might have over beat it and I didn't add cream cheese. The ingredients were:
Mix 2 tbsp of Dream whip powder, 1/2 cup Hot water, 1/2 tsp salt.
Cream 1/2 cup shortening 2 tsp vanilla then add Dream whip mixture until smooth.
Slowly add 1 tbsp flour and 2lbs. confectioners sugar.
When incorporated, mix 1-2 min. more. I have the cake and mix in the fridge right now.
Hopefully cooling everything will work for you.
When you take it all out make sure that you have your work area cool as well.
If you are going to decorate and pipe anything, have yourself a bowl of ice water and a few towels ready so you can dip your hands in there and dry off, before handling the bag and do it again and again as soon as you feel your hands are warming up.
If you need to after a little bit, but the whole thing back in the fridge for 15-30 minutes.
I saw a pastry chef using this method when she made Real ButteCream, because it's very heat sensitive.
I think it would work for you too. I cool all my tools when I make creammy frosting or filling like that.
Good Luck.
