AI made a cute simple sesame street cake at night and in the morning the buttercream was saggy and had some cracks. Do you think I was short on the powdered sugar
I was thinking the same as indydebi, the fat/sugar ratio could be the cause. I know if I don't have enough fat (or too much sugar depending on how you look at it) my buttercream will crack once the cake has been iced.
indydebi: I use 1 stick of butter and 1/2 c of shortening.... pinch of salt, a tablespoon of merengue powder, vanilla or butter flavoring, little water until I get the consistency I want and 4 cups of sifted powdered sugar.
