betty crocker icing in a can

[2CheekyMonkeys]

just wondering if anyone has ever used this before? does it taste ok?

i am being a slacker and using it for DDs birthday cake. i got the vanilla ones and am planning on adding food colouring to make it a different colour, do you think that would work?

I've never tried the vanilla one but the chocolate one is beyond delicious!!!! I think it would work, goodluck!

my mum has used it for vanilla cupcakes and made pink/purple icing and it turned out fine, the icing was pretty sweet. Hope the cake is yummy

do you mean can or container I have had the stuff in container and it is yummy!!!, just like the frosting mixes that come in cake mixs

[2CheekyMonkeys]

yeah i guess it is container. its can shaped though LOL

I've only tasted the chocolate one too, but it is really yum!

[Ree*Ree]

it is SO yum!! When my mum would buy it i would sneak into the pantry with a spoon...hehehe

just remembered that when adding food dye to it because you are stirring it so much it can get a bit runny so mum put it in the fridge for a little while before spreading on the cupcakes

Or try using Wilton piping gel. It alters the colour but not the consistency. Good luck!

[2CheekyMonkeys]

where do you get the gel from?
thanks for the tip funkeefrog!

I used it for Juliette's Nemo cake in May this year because I was in hospital the day before & didn't have time to do it properly. I used Wilton cake decorating gel to colour it

I bought the gel from a cake decorating shop in Perth, but do online orders from cakedeco dot com dot au, they are in Port Philip arcade on Flinders St in Melbourne.
