Shelly in IL Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Do you have a recipe for that whippy icing like Kroger/Highlander has on some of their cakes? It is seriously tasty and I need to make/decorate a cake and can't stand buttercream. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Wilton makes a whipped vanilla icing mix. You buy it as a powder and mix it with ice water. You can add cocoa, if you want chocolate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mynyel Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Here is an excellent one... http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Cool-Whipped-Frosting/Detail.aspx I don't use Cool Whip though, if a recipe calls for whipped cream I make my own and use it :) I am a sucker for homemade whipped cream!

Jann in TX Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Serious ones--not the ones that specialize in 'Wilton'... BTW the Wilton icing products taste terrible! A good cake decorating supply store will have the whipped cream icing mix in their refrigerator/freezer section. They usually come in a carton similar to a qt of milk.. just whip it up (maybe add a bit more vanilla...) and you have the whipped icing that you see at the bakeries. MOST bakeries do not make this icing from scratch (sometimes the homemade stuff separates)... Also know that whipped cream icing will dry out a cake--so either crumb coat with a THIN coat of buttercream first--or make sure to ice the cake within a few hours of serving it.

Annie G Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Rich's Bettercreme is what we use at Sam's and Walmart for whipped icing. Yep, it comes frozen (but stays pourable in the frozen state) and you just whip it and go. I buy mine at GFS in quart size cartons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2cents Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I get Rich's Bettercreme at Gordon Foods. I get it in a carton and it whips up nice and spreads like a dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mktkcb Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 you want a product called Pastry Pride. That is what the cake people use for their whip cream frosting. Comes in cartons/jugs like milk, but whips up into whip creamy type frosting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momling Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I don't like buttercream either... at least not the type that comes from a supermarket. I usually just frost cakes with a stabilized whipped cream (or even just regular whipped cream if it'll go in the fridge and be eaten soon). OR... I use one of the "Cake Bible" recipes - neoclassic buttercream is delicious. http://www.starchefs.com/chefs/RBeranbaum/html/neoclassic_r_beranbaum.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie G Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I think the Bettercreme tastes great. We actually get it prewhipped at work but I have to buy it in liquid state and it's a little more trouble to get it to the right consistency. I keep a carton or two in my freezer and can whip up a cake in a jiffy. It's good for a filling, too, and can be used as a base to add fruit. Makes a nice stable substitute for whipped cream but it's much sweeter. Don't read the ingredient label- just enjoy the taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelly in IL Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 I knew there had to be a way to decorate a cake without having to use that yucky butter-creme! I appreciate it so much and so does my family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
