I've seen a couple different versions of the Dream Whip Buttercream. Some call for adding hot water sort of like the Whimsical Bakehouse Butter cream and some have you add water. They don't say if it has to be hot or not. Would hot water or tap water make a difference?

I don't know the answer on this in reference to icings/frostings, but when a recipe, cake, cookies, bread, etc calls for hot water, I use hot, but if it just says water, I just use room temp water.

Hello All,

I made this recipe because one member said that it was good and that it crusted. Well it was good, everybody loved it. The only problem is that it didn't crust.

I put in a help call, but no one has responded. Maybe I put it in the wrong area. So I'm asking again can some one possibly tell me where I went wrong?

sorry, can't help with the hot/cold question. I have never tried this icing. I did a search in frostings for dream whip and came up with 2 recipes. One has hot water and one has cold water. Also one has the word Dream in the title and one did not. Maybe, one crusts and one does not and you got the wrong one????? LOL HTH

No Kazoot, I did'nt get the wrong one. This recipe was posted in the thread and I copied and pasted then printed it out and it stated that it crust over.
