smooth icing wrinkled up overnight.......
I iced a cake that came out very smooth. It sat under a ceiling fan on low overnight. The next morning the icing was a wrinkled textured look. Any ideas as to why this happened ? It has happened before a couple years ago and I think it was also a red cake. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

I haven't a clue, but I am convinced that buttercream has a mind of its own and I don't trust it for one second (even though it is yummy)!

I don't know for sure, but my guess is if you are using a liquid or gel color, you have to use so much to make icing red that after it sits under a ceiling fan, the texture of your icing changes as the moisture dries out. This would make sense, especially since you believe this has only happened with buttercream tinted red. I try to steer people clear of dark/bright colors all over.
