Crusting Bc Vs The Standard Wilton Buttercream
Decorating By GenGen Updated 4 Sep 2007 , 10:40pm by GenGen
the bc i've always used mostly because it was easy, few ingredients and got to be old habit. it was reliable for the most part. I knew what to expect from it and how to "manipulate" its results as needed etc also.
but one fall back it has is color bleeding happening to easy. My question is I recently found the crusting bc recipe here and wanted to know if coloring bled less in/on this crusting buttercream? (obvious i haven't used it yet 
)
thanks for your help
thanks! I'm trying to decide on a cake to do for our local fair in two weeks and knowing how warm it gets i figured a crusting one would be better to do. i opted not to do fondant due to this reason even though it would hold up better but i'm still not skilled enough with fondant to try a daring venture this soon

My icing recipe is in the above link. This is the one that I tell the story (that I know y'all are sick of hearing!) where the cake sat outside in 90 degree Indiana August humidity for 5 hours with no melting.
GenGen I was going to suggest going with the high humidity BC. I did two fair cakes with it and the BC held up very well. I will also either be using that as my regular bc from now on or will be buying high ratio shortening. THis past weekend I did my first wedding cake the bc did NOT stand up as it would have. I also did another cake with color and yes my colors bleed too on my regular bc. If you cant find dreamwhip PM me and I can pick it up and send it to you.
Ah the fair, I entered this year for the first time and was very happy to see that my cake held up!
Here's Sat. night in my kitchen: (edited to say Sat.-put the wrong day in)

Thanks! i'll have to see if our local stores sell dreamwhip. its a small town so things are hard to find.
It's a major brand so you shouldn't have a problem.
Yeah i've seen it in other stores but can't remember if it was in our town.
thats a cute cake
