I was wondering I have finally sat down to look at the recipe the M of the B gave me for the cheesecake she would like for the wedding party.
Ok it is a refridgerated cheesecake (no baking except for the crust) - Will this stand up to being on display for a couple of hours? The wedding is Mar 31.

The recipe is a crust layer, cheesecake layer, lemon curd type layer & topped with remaining cheesecake. I will be covering it in the Cake Bibles White Chocolate Cream cheese buttercream.

Thanks to anyone who can help with this. Cause if this will stand up I may use it on all the 150 cupcakes...Hmmmmmm. No baking yippyyyyyyy!

Hate to disappoint the MoB, but I have never seen a no-bake cheesecake recipe that is sturdy enough to stack layer upon layer.

As far as room temp stability, I would make a tester cake. Because it is a no-bake, it stands a bigger chance of separating than a baked cheesecake would.

But let us know how it works out, ok?

Do a test run.. You got time. If it works ---- go for it!
Be very critical and objective about it though. You don't want a fallen cake!!!

Unbaked cheesecakes gets really soft at room temp.

Even if you add less liquid into it. That's what I always use when I do my Cheesecake Pops. I had to freeze them well first b4 I dip them in chocolate because if I don't, they fall off the lillipop stick.

What was her reason to decide on an unbaked cheesecake ?
Does she hate baked ones ? As what everyone suggested,
do a "dress & make-up rehearsal" then you can give your findings to the
M of B.. icon_smile.gif

Do a regular cake, and have the no-bake in wine glasses as individual servings. You don't have to bake the crust, do it with the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter, and refrigerate instead of baking. A piped swirl of whipped cream to decorate, and you're done! We have the same problem with tiramisu, and (I believe) indydebi gave me the suggestion.
