Here’s what I want you to remember: Trust your ingredients, not your anxiety. If it’s a simple butter-sugar frosting, your counter is fine. If it has eggs, dairy, or fruit, play it safe and chill.
And honestly? Cake is never better than when it’s served at a happy medium. Not fridge-cold, not sitting out for two days. Just right. You know that Goldilocks feeling? That’s your target.
So go ahead. Make that cake. Leave it out (if it’s safe). Or pop it in the fridge (if you must). Just eat it. Enjoy it. And don’t stress about it. It’s buttercream, not brain surgery. You’ve got this.
