What To Do - Red Velvet Cake With Buttercream?
Baking By ladeebug Updated 13 Apr 2009 , 1:07pm by BeeBoos-8599_
My daughter asked me to make a cake for her friend and he loves red velvet. Since the cake won't be refrigerated, I'll have to use butter cream, right? Does anyone know of a cream cheese frosting that can sit out or how to flavor a butter cream to resemble cream cheese frosting?
Thanks! 
There are shelf stable cc icing recipes... Earlene Moore has a recipe on her site

I can't vouch for the taste as I have never made it, but it would work.

How is butavan different from vanilla? Could you just use vanilla in this recipe and it be the same?
I have a wonderfull Cream Cheese Buttercream recipe given to me by a great friend. It is my basic Buttercream recipe now. I have put it on every kind of cake imaginable including the wedding cake in my photos and it stands up VERY well. I think you will love it. I never worry about it being left out for a day.
1 C Butter
1 C Crisco
16 oz softened Cream Cheese
10 C Powdered Sugar
1 T Vanilla
1/2 t Salt

Would this crust?
It is not what I would call a high crusting BC but yes it crusts up enough to smooth etc. I just vary my amount of ps or shortening depending on what I want it to do.
I've used the cheesecake loran - its really good. It doesn't taste like cream cheese icing, but it does add a nice flavor to buttercream and will go really well with RV
How about doing a white chocolate BC? I remember seeing a post once about someone who made a RV cake with white chocolate icing, and thinking that sounded yummy!
I used the "Decorator Cream Cheese Icing" recipe here on the site. If I knew how to link it, I would. I left that out for a couple of days and it was perfectly fine. It is basically a buttercream icing with a pack of cream cheese added. It does crust pretty well and it tastes excellent. And I don't even like cream cheese. I live in the south so I would never dream of serving a red velvet cake with buttercream icing.

Sassy,
I have never added meringue powder to it because I really love it just as it is. I have only varried my ps or shortening when I wanted to change the consistency.
