But butter & cheese frosting will melt in our tropical climate. What other frosting can stay intact for several hours (betw 2-6pm). Tks pamchia monicachackal 11-30-2007 @ 9:27 AM                                 Member Posts: 9 Joined: Nov. 07 more info  All I know is that butter has a melting point at  around 88... where something like Crisco shortening is 106. So you probably will have to lean towards a shortening type frosting, even though the taste isn't AS good as butter. Crisco would be the most neutral. I got lots of answers from: http://whatscookingamerica.net/PegW/PeggyBakingCorner.htm pamchia 12-03-2007 @ 8:24 PM                                 Member Posts: 10 Joined: Jul. 07 more info  Hi Thanks for the tip. Will give it a try. pamchia akcooker 12-26-2007 @ 7:23 AM                                 Member Posts: 5 Joined: Dec. 07 more info  Hi, I don't know if I'm too late to help out, but according to what I have read (and tried), the best frosting for hot weather is Italian Meringue Buttercream.  I've also had success with Bakery Shop Icing (or Baker's)Icing. You can get more thorough information from http://www.baking911.com/decorating/icing_glaze_choices.htm Anne 'Best; Anne pamchia 01-02-2008 @ 6:41 PM                                 Member Posts: 10 Joined: Jul. 07 more info  Thanks to all who responded to my query. Luckily the weather was cool so my butter frosting didnt melt down. Will try the tips you guys provide next time round. HAPPY NEW YEAR. pamchia edwardmorgan 12-30-2021 @ 9:46 AM                                 Member Posts: 918 Joined: Sep. 20 more info  Sorry, this message can not be displayed at this time.
