How Long Will Indydebis Buttercream Last Once Made Up?
Decorating By aej6 Updated 16 Oct 2009 , 12:58am by aej6
If anyone can tell me I would really appreciate it. I've looked but can not find info on how long it will be good for once made.
Also, should I put it in the fridge?
Thanks again!
According to Debi, you do not have to refrigerate. I am sure it will last a couple weeks. If anyone knows if it will last beyond that, please jump in.
Definitely no fridge necessary - you can leave it room temp just like when you put it on a cake.
I recently PM'd indydebi with the same query - her exact reply was:
"I've left it out for at least 3 weeks. I can't say past that because I tend to use it up before it gets that old."
HTH
Thats strange you asked that question, I was intending on asking that today because I made up a batch of it......ITS AWESOME I just added a little popcorn salt to it and it was delicious.
I love indydebi's bc! I use NOTHING else. I leave it out of the frig for several weeks but if by chance I don't use it after a couple of weeks, I put it in the frig but you don't have to.
Thank you for all the responses!
I actually found that what I came out with was it too gritty....I could feel the sugar crunching on my teeth....what did I do wrong? I swear I used the right amount of sugar....
Also, how much popcorn salt did you add? (I finally found some at Wal-mart!)
Thanks again!

I actually had this same issue, thought it wasn't *that* bad. Still, it was the only downside to the recipe I could find and I'm going to make it a second time in a few minutes and I guess I'll see if it goes any better this time.
why would you put popcorn salt in bc...is that whats gritty lol..I am so cornfused here
Popcorn salt is MUCH finer than regular table salt so it is much easier to get it to dissolve. I use a pinch in all my buttercream to help cut back the sweetness.
OMGitsaLisa....let me know how it come out?...and if you do anything different...?
Well, I added a pinch of table salt to it this time and it's no grittier than before, but no less. It's not even that much grit, just.. a very slight feeling. I don't know how to make that go away.
The only time icing has seemed grainy to me was when I tried to be frugal and bought an off brand powdered sugar from Dollar General. It was grainy and I'll never try that again! I thought "powdered sugar is powdered sugar." Wrong!
Thanks for the updates....I may have used cheap sugar when I made this, can't recall...Domino and store brands are the only type sold around here....will try Domino next time....Thanks!
