Extra-Special Buttercream icing needs to be refrigerated, both after it is made and when it is placed on a cake. It will keep 3-5 days in the refrigerator.
It is great with Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe White Cake Mix (red box). Everyone always says that this is the "best" white cake ever (cake & frosting).
