I have been looking for a "fool-proof" buttercream recipe that will hold up in high heat and humidity and heat but will also work well with a FBCT! I have been searching the boards but as a result completely confused myself! We are talking upstate NY at the end of June which usually yields 80-90 degree weather and aweful humidity. Any suggestions? icon_lol.gif

why don't you try the high humidity buttercream? i've heard it taste good and becasue its made with all crisco it holds up really well in warm weather. you would find it in the recipe section.

Thanks, I did see that recipe and was wondering how well it worked with fbct. I have been practicing with a 1/2 butter recipe and have had no problems with it lifting off the parchment. I am little worried that the fbct will stick?? Has anyone tried a fbct with this recipe? Also does it take to color well, I need a nice royal blue for this cake? Thanks again!!!

I've used that recipe to do a navy blue and it was fine, just took a lot of color, so royal blue should be no problem since it is not as dark. I did notice that it got darker as it "aged" over the next few days so I wouldn't have needed to add as much color if I had made it ahead of time.
