Q- I am baking two cakes for the party on Sunday and want to use butter cream but its going to be 85 out and I do not want a big puddle of icing on the cakes.
Anyone know a good buttercream recipe that holds up great in the heat?

I find swiss meringue butter cream to be pretty heat tolerant.

I have had great luck with Wilton’s Cupcake buttercream frosting (http://www.wilton.com/recipes/recipesandprojects/icing/bcream.cfm). I used this as an emergency replacement after making buttercream out of butter and frosting was a big puddle of goo. This recipe saved the day!
