I just had a nurse from work ask me to make her a cake for the 4th of July, she will be my second "paying" customer! She's asked for a sheet cake ( whatever she wants I'll do) but she say's they are going camping and the cake will be "in and out" of the fridge till the 4th. She's leaving on the 2nd.

I'm fairly new to CC and have skimmed the recipe site, but want others' opinions on a good BC or comparable icing to use that will not have to be in the fridge the whole time. Sorry so long!

TIA

I just used Indidebi's BC recipe for a grad cake that was going to be out for a while and it was on a hot day. It held up beautifully!

I agree, Indydebi's. I've used it before and it holds up better to the heat than "typical" buttercream. But, I only use two versions of BC so I guess I'm no expert.

Buttercream breaks down at 85 degrees F. You don't need to keep it in the refrigerator unless it's outside air-conditioning and hotter than 85 degrees unless of course it's in direct sunlight and less than 85 degrees.

Thanks so much for the input!
