Can a cake iced in IMBC be stored in the fridge? The reason I'm asking is that I found that storing IMBC in th fridge it goes hard. (I guess as the butter firms up).

Please help

Thank you

YES! in fact i think it should. It does indeed firm up, but once it is out of the fridge for a few minutes, it will warm up, just like butter. icon_smile.gif

Thank you for the responce. I have made IMBC various times however it was consumed right away. Now I just got an order for the holidays & the client stated she was going to refrigerate the cake until needed.

Thank you thumbs_up.gif

Yes, Ice your cake smooth and decorate, then place in the fridge. It firms up and then set it out - it will come back at room temp.

sure thing. for the record, i think that is one of the great things about IMBC (besides the fact that it tastes great!) i have found i can smooth it some if i let it firm a little. this stuff is perfection in my opinion...the best of all worlds. worth the time to make.

I agree Katy. I was never happy with any powdered sugar/Crisco based buttercream, they all seemed gritty, greasy and overly sweet to me. I was so happy once I tried IMBC, it has all the features I was looking for, easy to make, nearly fool proof, light and not overly sweet, not greasy and it goes on like satin. I refrigerate all of my cakes overnight and let them warm to room temperature, perfect eating quality. One thing I have done differently than Martha Stewarts recipe is to cut the amount of butter down to 3 sticks (or 12 oz.) it was just too buttery for me with 16 oz. And I add the called for amount of Vanilla but also add 1/2 capful of orange extract. It doesn't make the icing taste orangey or citrus like, just a nice fresh taste.
