Hi Sherry,
It's a cream cheese icing that has crisco in it. I have never used it before. Lisa Seiple shared it with me on recipe discussion. I'm gonna try it out. The cake was ordered 1 week before it's needed (can't stand such short notice). It's for one of my other sister's brother in law and his wife. Their 35th wedding anniverary and getting their marriage blessed. Like a small wedding cake. Changed plans 3 times over this week (drives me crazy). But I'm trying anyway. Will not do another one with so little time again. I already told my sister (not Rachel), Don't expect me to do another cake like this. It's not doing me a favor, I'm doing you all a favor. I hate to hear the words " I figured you needed the money, so I rather give you the order instead of wal mart". Oh please, some people should just go to wal mart LOL. Sorry to babble. Will have pics uploaded tomorrow morning, wish me luck. Rachel is coming to visit and wants to learn a little more so she will be here too. YAY!!!!!!! That is the only thing exciting about the whole thing

I have used buttercream icing on fondant cakes, with no breaking down, but what i would do in this case is make your cake and fridge it, but leave off the fondant roses...moisture makes fondant sticky. Just store you roses at room temp covered by a thin kitchen towel and pop them on with a dab of icing just before delivery (or pickup). Is this a cream cheese buttercream icing? and take pics I want to see the cake and roses.
