Best Answer

The time required for buttercream to develop a firm crust depends on a number of factors, including the proportion of ingredients used, the temperature of the ingredients when combined, and the temperature and humidity of the room. Generally, if you want to be certain the buttercream crusts over fully, you should leave the cake uncovered overnight. It will crust more quickly in the refrigerator, but will still take several hours.

> It would take several days for buttercream frosting to become completely hard all the way through. Even then it will be quite soft. Hard icing decorations are not made out of buttercream but out of royal icing.

What is the recipe for buttercream frosting?

A simple recipe for American buttercream (the kind you might find on a cake from a grocery store) is "411". That's: 4 lbs of powdered sugar 1 lb of butter 1 lb of shortening Obviously do a 1/4 batch if you don't need that much. "411" is just easy to remember. Then all you do is cream those together, maybe add some vanilla. You may have to add moisture if its really stiff, such as water, or even juice for a flavored buttercream. There are other buttercream formulas....french buttercream, Italian meringue buttercream....but these are for the more advanced.
