Does anyone know if I can use a Cream Cheese filling on Red Velvet Cake that is safe to keep at room temp (I don't have time to order artificial cream cheese flavoring)? If not, can the cooked flour frosting be left out or should I just use IMBC or reg. BC or should I purchase the canned cream cheese frosting from the grocery store? The cake I am making is going to be covered in fondant w/a fondant bow. I really appreciate any advice on this, thanks.

bump.

Cream cheese icing is just fine at room temp for a day or two. he sugar keeps it from spoiling.

Ok. Why can't you put it in the fridge? How hot is it where you are? How long will it be out of the fridge? These are all important factors.

I'm in NC. Outside temp is in the upper 40's-lower 50's, inside would be around 70F (give or take a bit). Is it safe to leave out the crusting cc icing under fondant for a full day during a party?

It's only out for a day during the party??? I was thinking of over a few days while decorating!!! You will be fine! As sayhellojana said, the sugar keeps the milk protiens from going bad. Totally fine!

Thank you guys so much. I love that there are so many nice people on CC willing to answer questions.
