Has anyone ever used Bettercreme? I'm having trouble working with Bettercreme, it's melting almost instantly and when I use Wilton gel colors to color it the consistency changes to a thinnner consistency.

Any suggestions on what to use to decorate an ice cream cake?

Oh yes
You might not be whipping it enough.
OR if you have hot hands you'll have problems w/it melting in the bag as you work.
It is not good to use when it is over 80 or 85 degrees - it melts.
It can be tinted *only* to the lightest of pastel shades.

Why don't you 'ice' the cake w/Bettercreme and do the decorating w/b'cream. You can mix it 1/2 and 1/2 allowing for more color concentration.
