buttercream frosting question
I'm planning on making this frosting:
https://rosebakes.com/cream-cheese-b...ream-frosting/ Can I make it the day before I need to frost the cake? I'm not actually going to do any fancy decorating other than just straight frosting. Do you think it will be ok if I skip the Crisco? I don't have any nor do I have anything like it. I'm open to another similar crisco-less recipe if anyone has one. I do have cream cheese (yum!).

Re: buttercream frosting question
I have made lots of similar buttercream without crisco. Crisco just helps keep it counter-top stable, and reduces melting.

Re: buttercream frosting question
Can I make it the day before and refrigerate it? I would feel better knowing it turned out rather than wait until the last minute!

Re: buttercream frosting question
I usually make buttercream the same day and use. But if you intend to refrigerate your creation probably good. I once did a cake the day before and didn't and it started melting on a hottish day.

Re: buttercream frosting question
The frosting will probably be too stiff to spread straight from the fridge, be sure to pull it out to soften a couple of hours ahead of time.

Re: buttercream frosting question
I've made ahead of time, refrigerated, and then let it come to almost room temperature before beating it well and using. Works great! Do make sure to cover it well in the fridge, it could be something that would easily pick up fridge smells, yuck!

Re: buttercream frosting question
You will have to bake and frost the cake the day before and refrigerate it. The Crisco helps keep it from melting at room temp. You can substitute butter, I would think. Spectrum makes organic shortening.

Re: buttercream frosting question
I can bake the cake tomorrow and frost it tomorrow though too, right? I ended up not making the frosting today, and I think I'll just plan on doing it early enough tomorrow that I will have enough time to re-do it if necessary.
I used to have Spectrum shortening but it went bad. I hardly ever use it, so I'd rather not buy it if not needed. Already made a last minute grocery store run today for more powdered sugar. Probably should have done the whole thing today, but no fridge space and too late now since ds really wants to help. Fingers crossed it turns out tomorrow!!

Re: buttercream frosting question
Yes, it was rancid. But really old. Probably more like years than months. Yuck.
I am turning a layer cake into a sheet cake. So much easier and ds doesn't care about fancy cakes. Thank goodness. I can appreciate them but not create them! Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk

Re: buttercream frosting question
I'm a little nervous trying a new cake recipe. He is obsessed with strawberries and the color red and really wanted a strawberry cake for his birthday party. We did a strawberry cake last year too, but a different recipe. I appreciate all the tips!!
