Quick Question Regarding Buttercream Dream Recipe
Decorating By lipbalmcollector Updated 29 May 2007 , 10:48pm by lipbalmcollector
Does this have to be refridgerated? My icing is sweating(I think this is what you call it.lol) this is my first time using it. Right now all my cupcakes are in the fridge because of it, but I thought I would check with those that have used it before.
Another reason for asking is because wednesday morning, I am going to start that huge task of making the star tip crayon box cake and wanted to know if it needs refrideration, how will the cake survive the making process, transportation and the sitting out till we eat it..
the only time my buttercream dream sweats is when i put it in the fridge, take it out and it's returning to room temp. i've never had a problem leaving a cake out on the counter. so, i'm not sure why yours is? maybe it's really humid where you are??? i dunno.
I live in northern CA not sure if that plays a part in it or not. It was warm yesterday,but not hot hot..
its a recipe I found on here. It was my first time making a buttercream anything frosting. I was really pleased with it. My colors didn't change that much at all and the taste was really good. Not too sweet and not to lardy tasting.
If it is humid and you want to put the cake in the fridge, when you take the cake out of the fridge, keep it covered until it has come back up to room temp. I use the cake box or turn a tall storage container to cover it. The humidity in the room is going to form condensation on the coolest thing in the room. (Think of how the moisture collects on a glass of ice water.) Yes, it is a pain, but a lot easier to prevent than to stop the sweating. I also have a customers who like to keep their cakes in the fridge. Works for me, HTH.
hmm ok I guess that makes sense because of the few tablespoons of milk that is in it. But I could have sworn someone here said that you could leave it out, it didn't need to be refriderated. Do you think maybe they thought I did'nt use milk in it?
another question. I am making a rather large cake for thursday. It will not fit in the refridgerator, do you think if I run air conditioner at home it should be ok?
Also I am making my very first mmf cake for my daughters teacher this week. If I use buttercream dream in it then the fondant, how does that work? Since I was told fondant doesn't do good in the refridgerator?
this is a recipe for a high humidity crusting bc...
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2c crisco
3 Tbls. Dream Whip
3 drops butter flavoring
1/2 tsp. Clear Vanilla
3 drops lemon or orange flavoring, optional
1/4 c. flour
1/2 c. milk
2lb 10x sugar
Mix salt, crisco, dream whip and flavorings together on high speed 4-7 min. until mix. resembles whipped cream. Add flour, 1/2 of the milk and 1/2 of the sugar, Mix until blended. Add remaining milk and sugar and mix until blended.
This is a crusting buttercream so I keep bowl covered with a damp towel to keep it from crusting while I decorating with it. make enough to ice and decorate a 1/4 sheet cake.
I just wanted to share this recipe with you.
this is not my recipe, it belongs to a CC member (forgive, me, I can not remember who at this moment). I have not tried it yet, but it is supposed to be awesome.
I made the cupcakes for the class party today using buttercream dream,and all the kids liked it and I tasted it and loved it.
Since I already purchased all the ingredients to make what I have, do you think it should be ok? if I turn the ac on?
2sdae-thank you. I do know when I made them it was a little warm out, but not the CA hot were used to in the summer,and then with the oven on.hmmm.
I just thought since that one got so many great reviews,that it would be ok. Is there anything I can add to it,that would make it crust a little bit more?
When I say sweating-is that when it looks like the buttercream is sweating oil?and becoming shiny
