Hi Melvira - thanks for the idea of making the Malt Icing with Bettercream. It sounds like a must make recipe!

Happy New Year everybody - hope 2009 is great year for all!

mndy204, you have Hy-Vee down there right? My sis is in Independence and they have it there. That's where I first got it, by the pound from the bakery. They just grabbed a deli container and filled it up and sold it to me. Don't be afraid to be a little forward about getting it! thumbs_up.gif

Lol! I guess I'll stop by Smart and Final and grab some Frostin' Pride. I'm making a bunch of cupcakes for a friend's new year's party, so I guess I have some fillings to try icon_smile.gif

Yeah we have a Hy-Vee, that's where I normally grocery shop! Should I just ask the bakery instead of going to Sam's then? That'd be awesome!! I'll have to try that out!

Yes! Make sure you go during the midday hours (between 9-3) so you can be sure you get someone very knowledgable about the bakery area. I don't at all mean that to be rude, but you know, if you go late in the evening you may get someone who is just stocking stuff, but they know nothing about anything back there. Anyway, look for someone who perhaps has something to do with the cakes and pastries, they'll know the most. I am guessing they shouldn't have a problem with it, but you never know. If you end up not finding it, you'll have to let me know and the next time I come down I'll load up a huge cooler with the liquid quarts for ya!! thumbs_up.gif

icon_eek.gif Oh that would be awesome!!! You are the best ever!!! I'm hoping I'm brave enough to get some! Normally the people are pretty nice there so hopefully it'll work out! Oooh but the thought of getting to try the liquid stuff....you guys just make that sound sooo much better. I'm just excited to try any of it at this point. icon_wink.gif

What's the difference between bettercream, frosting pride and pastry pride? Is it just different brands. I noticed that's what they had at smart and final. They have the chocolate bettercream too, is that any good?

Oh man... the liquid is awesome! But I have to be careful if I am using some and leave it in the fridge and my (other) sister stops by. She'll take my cake scraps and put a bunch in a bowl, then pour a ton of the unwhipped liquid over it! Then pour some in her coffee too. She'll sit there pigging out and I'll just shake my head and ask her if she has any idea what her little snack costs!! Grrrrrrrrrr! icon_mad.gif

They're just different brands. Whatever you do... don't try to use Pilgrim's Pride. Hehehehe*snork*snicker*cough*

Okay, I need to stop spending so much time on CC.

I had a dream last night that Melvira was the "Bettercream Fairy". She was dressed like a dollop of Bettercream with wings and she would float into our houses and leave buckets of liquid bettercream and malt syrup for all of us.

Fiddlesticks was her elf and was dressed just like her avatar, a cat with noodles floating around her.

It freaked me out, for real!

Sammie, yes, you should be fine to freeze!!

Tita: I'm going to buy me a freezer truck from Schwans or something and start a national train of delivering this stuff!! thumbs_up.gif

Fiddle, you and I have talked... would you expect anything less from that sis really?? icon_rolleyes.gif

That's what I'm talking about! I wonder if any company like Schwann's does deliver that stuff...I swear (not really) I saw someone around here selling Bettercream, but since I've been so snooty about it, I kind of turned up my nose and walked by. Now I regret it because I want to try it- shame on me!

Don't you know that's one of the seven caloric sins?? "Thou shalt not make the Mistress soil herself". Now, the next three batches of ganache that you make are going to be grainy or separated!! Sorry... they're not my rules. icon_lol.gif
