Hi all, I made a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting, but it's runny in the heat and humitity. What can I do to stop it from running down the cake and hold some gumpaste flowers. thanks all

I use a recipe called Crusting Cream Cheese by Edencakes. I found it a couple of years ago and have never had a problem with it. It tastes really good too and I can't stand cream cheese. Go figure. Hope this helps.

The Crusting Cream Cheese cake on here is great, I would also refrigerate it as long as you can before hand. Good Luck!

thanks for the info. I will look into the crusting creamcheese from edencake.

How do I find Edencake's Crusting Cream Cheese icing? I didn't find it when I did a search. That's just what I need for granddaughter's birthday cake coming up. Thanks, Opal

Is this it? http://cakecentral.com/recipes/2047/crusting-cream-cheese-icing . I just googled edencakes crusting cream cheese icing cake central and this came up. Hope that is what keonicakes was recommending.

That's a good recipe and my go to for cream cheese icing. But also the cream cheese icing from Earlene's (on earlene's website) is shelf-stable for several days and can withstand heat.

Ive had these same problems w/CCI, so Im definatly going to try that recipe ! Thanks !!
