PEAK SUMMER DISCLAIMER: I use this exact recipe year round! However, please note that it is made of real butter, it will naturally soften in warmer temperatures. Always store in a cool environment and refigerate if needed when decorating. Always keep your decorated cakes in the fridge until a few hours before serving. A litte tip from me, is to crumb coat your layer cakes in a firm ganache for extra stability on those hot summer days!
