Help! My buttercream frosting is close to frozen. Ruined?

Set all my containers of different colors of frosting out on the patio while we got some fridge cleanout/organizing done so that we could fit it all in there until it’s time to frost.

When I brought it back in it was close to hard!

It’s just butter/crisco/powdered sugar buttercream. I’d expect it just needs to thaw out to spreadability, but I’m checking here to keep me off the ledge.

What’s the verdict?

According to this, you’re fine. Just whip it when it thaws. I don’t have any direct experience in the matter, though.

Agreed, you’ll be fine.

I often freeze pieces of cake, and they thaw just fine. As a matter of fact, the frosting tastes pretty good ice cold!

Worst comes to worst, you might have to warm the frosting to melting point and then re-whip it as it cools.
