Give that a try and let me know how it goes. The consistency should be fine, whip the butter until fluffy that will help “lighten it up”.

I’ve made this twice this week, I love it. The flavor is great and I love how easy it is to put together. I can’t wait to make your pumpkin ice cream next.

What a lifesaver! Saved a trip to the grocery store. Wonderful alternative. Used maple syrup as I was out of vanilla. Maybe I didn’t mix it well enough but think I’ll use only 1/2 tsp vinegar as I could taste it. Think that will affect the consistency?

There will be no problem having it out of the fridge for hours indoors with temperatures from 70-76°. Just as a caterer would.
If it’s warm keep it insulated in a cool place closer to serving if needed in a box, with flat trays of ice underneath or ice packs on the sides. If serving it outside (which I hope is not the case for hours) you can use some shortening to keep the butter more stable.

Just tried this and it was great! I have a wedding I am baking a three-tiered cake for, along with 200 cupcakes.. would this do well with sitting out for multiple hours? Will the shape not hold up?

This is the best recipe, I’ve always wanted to make a small batch of cupcakes, and these turn out so delicious. Perfect and the frosting is amazing, silky smooth and so pretty. I’m working on my rose swirls and they are getting better each time I do them. I’ve made these three times and great results. I look forward to getting your emails now, I just love your blog!
