Have a Wedding cake due Saturday in 90 degree weather & i'm using BC. I'm afraid my cake is going to melt because the wedding is outside. Does anybody have any advice please.

Makes sure the cake is in the shade, if you cannot wait until as late as possible to put the cake out for the event.

I use IndyDebi's recipe. I have not had a problem, but I have not had a cake outside either... Check it out and see what you think... Maybe do a small cake and do a trial run tomorrow?

Indydebi's recipe is very similar to the one I posted, (High Humidity Buttercream). I put a cake in the direct sun all day for testing purposes. The temp was in the high 90's and the icing never budged and the roses did not "wilt". The only affect I found on the cake was that after about 5 hours the color in the pink roses had faded slightly put that was all.
