Humidity and Buttercream don't mix

Icing cake this week was made quite the challenge because of the extreme heat combined with humidity.  I managed to make it through Friday without having my icing melt, but come Saturday morning it had turned to soup.  I haven't experienced buttercream icing melt, I guess you could say that I was spoiled with consistent air conditioning while working at Albertson's.  Anyone have a sturdy buttercream recipe that won't melt on me?!

This past week flew by... six days and 19 cake layers later, I am totally exhausted.  I only had two very large cakes this week, the Whitney cake was three tiers with a single on the side, and the Nisson cake was three tiers as well with two sheets on the side.  I also had quite a few shop orders this week, carrot cake's, almond cakes, and lemon cakes.

The Whitney cake was completed with beautiful red roses along the corners and for the topper.  I didn't make it to the delivery for this cake hence why I am missing the final detail pictures.

This was the pastel rose teaser that I showed on tuesday

This is it's sibling cake

I'm sorry for my short blog this week...   See you all on Wednesday!
