Hi everyone
I am looking for a cream cheese icing recipe that I can use between a tall carrot cake without the layer slipping on each other! Whatever cream cheese frosting I make, the layers of the cake start sliding on top of each other and making the cake eventually fall apart. We live in a hot climate so note sure if its my recipe or the location. I have tried so mane recipes but none of them have worked.
Thanks
idk -- If I use cream cheese icing -- I tell my brides that it cuts into the viewing time of the cake -- because I won't let it sit out more than 2 hours -- I deliver it right as the reception starts and everyone is aware to cut the cake asap -- because it is a hazardous food -- it can be out of temp a total of four hours and I figure i'll use up two making it --
but there are flavors you can put in regular icing -- like cream cheese flavor from loran oils or white balsamic vinegar -- which you can find the recipe in the recipe section here on cc for the vinegar icing -- white balsamic vinegar -- walmart or amazon -- they carry it at my local grocery store too
and there's shelf stable cream cheese sleeves of filling too --
I don’t know if this helps, since it seems you live somewhere SUPER HOT and I’m not sure how tall your cake is, but just this past weekend I had an order for a three layer 8” carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and they wouldn’t take no for an answer :).
1. My cream cheese frosting is 2 sticks of butter and one 8 oz. block of cream cheese plus sugar/vanilla.
2. After I do a thick crumb coat I refrigerate for a couple of hours.
3. Then I do a THIN layer of buttercream frosting to hold it all together better and so that I don’t have to worry about fondant decorations melting.
4. I tell customer cake should not be out for more than 3 hours.
Hope this helps? All depends of various factors but it works for me for cakes this size.
I like -K8memphis's recipe using white balsmic vinegar as a substitute for cream cheese, but if you are unable to find, Lorann makes a Cream Cheese emulsion which is a pretty good substitute. I've used it in place of real cream cheese frosting many times by just flavoring my buttercream and it works well.
Good Morning K8memphis : I looked on Amazon for the white balsalmic vinegar that you list as one of your ingredients in your recipe . I looked it up on Amazon and they have soooo many brands of white balsalmic vinegar - could you please tell me which brand you use or even take a picture to post for me. Thank you in advance :-)

I have some Alessi brand in my cupboard -- I hope you like it -- if I made that recipe my husband and I could eat the whole batch -- it reminds me of cream cheese mints of days gone by -- I used to make those for almost every wedding cake I did --
white balsamic vinegar is all I know -- I've used different brands
