Safety First: How to Store Cream Cheese Frosting Overnight

In summary, cream cheese frosting can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be frozen for up to 3 months. It is recommended to transfer it to an airtight container before storing to avoid picking up any odors or flavors from other foods. If the frosting has a sour smell, mold, or has been stored for more than 3 days, it should be discarded. It is not safe to leave cream cheese frosting at room temperature overnight and should always be stored in the refrigerator to prevent bacteria growth.

If I made homemade cream cheese frosting and frost a cake the night before do I need to put it in the fridge overnight? I never know when it comes to stuff like this if it's safe on the counter or needs to go in the fridge.
 
I refrigerate cream cheese frosting.

I've had CC frosting that has gone bad....not good.:yuck:
