I have been asked to do a graduation cake for this weekend. They would like a whipped, "less sweet" frosting for the cake. Is there such a thing that would stand up to the heat? Forcast says low 90's for this out door event. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
frostin pride hold up for a while just not sure how long sorry im not much help
the wbh house bc is whipped, less sweet, and mostly crisco. i think it would hold up, but i've never tried it. you should make up a small batch and leave it outside today to see how well it does in the heat. heres the recipe:
House Buttercream
Pure white buttercream, ideal for mixing with colors, from fluorescent pink to muted green. This recipe uses High Ratio shortening, which can be found at any good cake decorating supply store; it does not affect the taste, but it does affect the buttercreams ability to accept color. If you cant find high ratio shortening substitute regular shortening, but use candy colors to tint your buttercream to avoid tiny beads of unblended color. House Buttercream can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks if tightly covered.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, stir together:
6 cups confectioners sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
With a whisk attachment, add and whip at low speed:
1 cup boiling water (3/4 cup on hot days)
Whip until smooth and cool. Add and whip until smooth:
2 3/4 cups high ratio vegetable shortening
6 ounces (1 1/2 sticks) slightly chilled butter, cut into 1 inch pieces
Increase the speed to medium-high. Whip until light, fluffy, and doubled in volume (10-20 minutes). The buttercream will almost fill a 5-quart mixing bowl.
Yield: 9 1/2 cups
