Can whipped cream be used to frost a cake?
If you are looking for a super simple frosting that lets the cake shine, whipped cream is the way to go. Unlike a buttercream, which is rich to a fault (it’s called buttercream, after all), whipped cream is relatively light and delightfully fluffy. Not to mention, its ingredient list and method are as simple as can be.
How far in advance can I frost a cake with whipped cream?

Taking whipped cream to holiday meals is great, but depending on what time you arrive at a party and what time dinner is served, it often deflates or weeps all over your dessert in the refrigerator. Sure, you can make it seconds before you’re serving, but that doesn’t always fit in the schedule.
How do you keep whipped cream from deflating?
Simply add 1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar to 1 cup whipping cream before whipping. Make it in the morning and serve it after dinner. If you want even more more stability, whisk 1 tablespoon cornstarch with the powdered sugar before adding it to the cream.
