Excellent ideas here--I hadn't thought of adding gelatin or stabilizer. Will that allow for the cupcakes to stay on display (indoors) for 2-3 hours? Society Donor, I too considered doing a tester of just leaving the "whipping cream" out for several hours to see how it holds. Though from experience, I'm skeptical that it will last. I'll give it a shot though! Thank you both!

I'll be making cupcakes for a wedding and the bride has requested whip-cream frosting. It is my understanding that the display life for whip-cream frosting is short (1-2 hours). Is this true? Also, so there a light frosting that isn't very sweet (similar to whip-cream) that could be used in it's place? Something that has a longer display life (something similar to a buttercream). Summary: 1. What is the display life of whip-cream? 2. What would be a good substitute for whip-cream? (please include recipe and approximate display life) Note: By "display life", I mean how long it can sit out of the fridge without running or flopping. Thank you.
