This was a birthday cake for my neighbor and she didn't care (or even notice) that the layers had spare tires!

that's a good point June - of course the butter icing and cake around it will keep it softer.

Just my regular RI mixture Katy. I've never noticed and hard "bits" of RI after eating a cake I've used RI on for a dam. I don't make it excessively hard, but firm enough to pipe. Like a medium-firm bc. I guess Katy, once cakes all put together, eventually the RI softens up. Not like on the outside where it's exposed to the air. But not soft enough to let your icing/torting ooze out.

I have never used RI as a dam either - interesting concept.........what sort of RI do you use June?  Just straight so it goes really hard or soften it up a bit with glycerin so it's edible but still a sort of stiff peak consistency?
