I have a cake that needs to get done today and i cant make it to the store until my hubby comes home. So i was thinking if i started making all my cream cheese frosting then that would be one thing i could get out of the way. I cant actually frost the cake yet b/c i need some things at the store for the filling. So do you think it would be ok to bring my cream cheese to room temp and then make the frosting and put it back in the fridge, then bring it back out to room temp AGAIN to frost the cake, and then put the cake back in the fridge till tomarrow? Or is that too much cold , warm , cold, warm. kwim? hoping this is making sense. lol maybe this is just too much of a hassle and i should just wait. LOL anyways, what do you all think. thanks!

shouldn't be a problem at all


that is as long as the frosting stays in the bowl and doesn't end up in someone's tummy --- "just checking to see if its ok!"




edited for spelling -- a very OOPs one at that!

I've done it...and I didn't have any problems....you may have to rebeat the frosting once you bring it back to room temp. before you frost with it...just in case you get some drying out on the top.

I used to work at a large bakery up here in MI that made their cream cheese fosting in the night, let it set in the cooler until the morning, bring it out to be used sometime in the day; after the cakes were frosted, the cakes went back into the cooler until they were needed. I didn't see any problem with the icing and the warm up and the cool down. The frosting tasted great! I never did this at home, but I did it every day at the bakery! LOL
