Cake Decorating icing
I am taking a Cake Decorating Class and we are using the butter cream Icing?

I forgot to add the meringue. How will it affect the icing?

As a professional Cake Decorator, I can tell you that the merinque is just a stabilizer, and it really does help when you live in a humid area or during the summer when it is hot. It will help keep the icing from becoming soft and sliding off your cake.

If you are serving the cake indoors in an air conditioned room, or outdoors in cooler weather, you should be ok.

However, I have used a teaspoon of corn starch or Cake Flour before instead of the merinque, (only as a substitute during a hot day when I ran out of of merinque) and it was ok, but I didn’t really like doing it because I wasn’t sure if it would work as well as the merinque. It worked, but I would stick with the merinque. Just my opinion.

Good Luck. Email me if you need any help.
