Hot Weather And Frosting! Help Please!
Decorating By cwhite27 Updated 3 Jul 2009 , 7:48pm by cwhite27
I have a cake that needs to be frosted in the dead heat of summer. The party will be outside and the average temp will be about 100. Is there a frosting that will stand up to this heat?
Also, I have a problem with keeping my frosting from softening quickly when I'm working with it. I have hot hands, I am lost at how to frost cakes without using 5 bags and rotating them out.
Any suggestions to the above problems would be greatly appreciated.
~Thank you~
I've heard that Indydebi's Crisco -Based buttercream icing holds up well in the heat and humidity. You can find the recipe on here in the recipe section. I haven't used it outdoors in the heat yet but, I can tell you it tastes wonderful. It also crusts very well. Good Luck

Indydebi's recipe works great and I would recomend you using it as it will hold up to the heat.
I too have the hot hand syndrome and what I do is keep a bowl with cold ice water near by.
When I find my hands are starting to effect the icing I just take a 2 min break and immerse my hands in the cold ice water bath.
Sounds like a pain in the @ss but it seems to work for me.
Hope this helps you 
the plastic disposable cake decorating bags also heat up the icing quicker i find. Are you using those? you could try the parchment paper or the featherweight bags.
