I frosted a cake once with whipped cream. I used a pint of heavy cream
and a cup of powdered sugar. (it was a big cake) Whip the cream first,
then add the sugar. When I added the sugar the whipped cream got stiff,
and it didn't weep like normal whipped cream, and the cake lasted for
several days so it had plenty of time for the frosting to fall apart. HTH.
