That's an Italian Meringue Buttercream... an absolutely terrific icing to work with but it's not intended to crust.
So does it harden at all or is it difficult to smooth? What about applying fondant pieces to it? I'm wanting to use it for a wedding cake but I will need to attach some fondant things to it so I wanted to be sure before I whip it up.

IMBC is by far the easiest icing to smooth. Get it as smooth as possible, refrigerate to harden, then fine tune the smoothing with your hands or a hot knife/spatula. Also, do your decorating while the cake is well chilled.
Would it be appropriate for an outdoor wedding? The temperatures are supposed to be around 50 - 60, but I'd sure hate to work hard on this thing and then have the icing go bad. Thanks for the info!!!

Oh sure, IMBC is used at outdoor weddings all the time. I would keep it refrigerated tho' until just a couple hours before the wedding... in fact, I'd probably deliver it straight from the refrigerator. 50-60 degrees will be great... but, like any other cake, make sure that it's not set up in direct sunlight/wind.
Thanks! I just noticed....we're neighbors!! I'm in Mequite. Do you belong to a local cake club?

OMG... the world keeps getting smaller and smaller. No, I enjoy getting together with friends but I'm just not the 'join-a-club' type.
