What are the crumbs on the side? And if you wouldn't mind, I would love to have the recipe for the icing because the recipe I used for another cake was way to runny. Do you have to refridgerate this cake? Thanks in advance. It is a beautiful [email protected]

The "crumbs" on the side are chopped walnuts. I used the cream cheese icing recipe that I found on the cake central website. I too always had trouble with my cream cheese icing getting too runny. I found the secret to be to use more solid shortening in your recipe and decrease the amount of butter ... and I also added some extra confectioners sugar. This seemed to do the trick very nicely.
