Hello. I enjoyed your article, very informative. I need your guidance. I will be making 3 separate cakes for a baby shower. I was planning on doing the American BC with 1/2 butter and 1/2 crisco. I am not crazy about it because it is too sweet. I dont have space in my fridge so i plan on making the ABC the night before and chilling it. The morning of the event i will frost my cakes and leave them on my kitchen counter. The event is late that afternoon. It will be in a refrigerated room or outside for a couple of hours. Based on your suggestion to use a cream cheese frosting due to the heat, what do you think of using 1/3 butter, 1/3 crisco, and a 1/3 cream cheese? Will it still hold up to heat? Will it be safe to eat (pregnant woman and children)? Good for piping and flowers? Maybe cut doen the sweet factor? Thank you so much!
