RECIPE: cream cheese frosting for wedding cakes

14 years ago

several years ago I posted a need for a cream cheese frosting suitable for wedding cakes and someone posted one for me which thankfully I wrote down and have used...because in a search for it I can't find it...my question is this my daughter is getting married in June and I want to use this frosting in trying to decide when to get all that the brides mother needs to do done. How long can the cake be out of the refreg with cream cheese frosting? No refreg big enough to frost the cakes and put in refreg till reception. or should I do everything then do the cake and hopefullly be done by the time of the meal then the wedding and then the reception. want to get my hair done that type of thing Ideas welcome

DON'T DO IT. As the mother of two recent brides, I can speak from experience. YOU WON'T HAVE TIME FOR ANYTHING, take care of yourself and your daughter, period.

For my first daughter's wedding, I, stupidly, agreed to pick up flowers, etc and deliver to the reception site first thing in the morning. It was a mistake, I was so rushed and so stressed just trying to get myself ready and be there to help the my daughter, I learned my lesson. For the next daughter's wedding, I picked up the wedding dress the day before, and even that was just too much. In addition to the obvious - hair, dress, rehearsal dinner, getting to the wedding on time, etc. etc, there's just so many little, tiny but really important things that need to be dealt with, you don't need the distraction of making and frosting the wedding cake and delivering it to the reception site. That's what bakeries, or friends, are for.

Good luck.

How long the cake can stay out of the refrig depends on the temperature.
At 85 degrees the frosting will be melting and running....but if the air conditioning is set on 68, it could stay several days.

What to do with leftover cream cheese frosting?
Q
Comments (15)
In the old days, my mom always spread left over icing on graham crackers, topped it with another gramham cracker, and stores them in the refrigerator for snacks. With 4 kids in the family, they did not make it through the day. With left over pie crust, she baked stickies--rolled out the remaining dough, buttered it, sprinkled it with light brown sugar and a little cinnamon, folded the dough in half and sealed the edges and baked. These stickies never had a chance to cool completely before they disappeared.

Spring Kraft recipes magazine...Lemon cheese cake
Q

Hi pattico, How great that you enjoyed the Lemon Cheesecake that was developed from the Kraft recipe book. I checked "my" Kraft recipe book, spring edition, to see whether it had lemon cheesecake (which wouldn't be a big deal to me, as I'm not a devotee of lemon). Not there - this is a Canadian edition. They sure do own a lot of our regular grocery items, though, don't they? This comes in step-aunt's name, who died over 5 years ago and I've never bothered notifying them to stop it, though I hardly ever make use of the recipes. It comes to the formerly correct address at a rural route, but now they've put a number on every house, for "911" reasons ... but the postmistress has a long memory. She's good at telling the mail "where to go". ole joyful

H1! My daughter got married a week ago and I was supposed to bake and decorate her wedding cake. Not only planning
her wedding and reception,my husband was just diagnosed with stage 4 bladder cancer. I taking him for treatments 5 days a week,plus trying to tie up all the loose ends.
My solution to my wedding cake problem was to have a local
bakery bake the cake and I decorated it myself. Weeks ago,
I candied tons of violets, violas and pansey's. The
wedding was nature-inspired and there were bird nests
and toparies everywhere. The 4 tier cake was on a piece
of wood with bark around the bottom of it. It took me
over 2 hours to decorate it with the bakery doing all of the baking and icing of the cake. I know with everything
I had to do I could have never had the time to bake it and
ice it myself. Don't forget your daughter's wedding reception is the largest party you will ever host! Good luck! Alanna from Pa
