re: Wedding cake issue

Misc.
Lindy, I'm afraid I don't have a solution for you either. It might be best for you to talk to the bride again and let her know that her expectations in this case are not realistic. If I were the bride, I'd rather know in advance that there is a high potential for disaster, and make other plans, than be surprised by a puddle for a cake on my wedding day. She needs to pick a sturdier icing or provide a cooled area for the cake to be on display. You're taking too much on yourself in a situation where you have little control. You can't change the weather or the way fats react to heat to please the bride! Maybe there's a professional out there who can give you better catering advice, but unless you come upon it soon, think about talking to the bride about making some changes.
