this is a recipe I found from

formatting link



I've made the frosting, refrigerated till ready to use. I frosted my cake today, but it keeps seperating when it is sitting out.



I have 10 cakes to make for a bakesale Sat, and I was hopping this recipe would hold up to potential warm weather.



what am I doing wrong?



thanks in advance for any advice.



Diem


2/3 cup water
4 Tablespoons Meringue Powder
12 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
1-1/4 cups shortening
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon No Color Almond Extract
3/4 teaspoon Clear Vanilla Extract
1/2 teaspoon No Color Butter Flavor

I have used that recipe without any problems. You should bring it to room temperature and then beat it again before you frost your cakes.
