After that, I throw out any remnants... if there are any. :o) So I would say this frosting is fine at room temp for about 5 days, up to two weeks in the fridge, but I prefer not to freeze it if it is to be spread and needs to look pretty. I do love to put it between graham crackers, wrap Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10720538592229420776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297390964994127201.post-20374663809264644602011-07-05T11:46:57.078-04:002011-07-05T11:46:57.078-04:00I tried this and it's fabulous!

I was wondering...when you say it will last as long as the cake lasts, are you implying that the cake will be consumed the day it's made or will this last for more than a day? I may use this on a wedding cake or other treats but would need it to last longer than a day. Don't want to make anyone sick.

Is there any way to save it? I poured too much of the flour mixture to the butter one too fast. Is that why this happened?! Actually, I don't even know if I have time.

It turned out really well actually. I halved all of the incredients, and substituted 4oz cream cheese for 2 oz or shortening.
