Has anyone tried using Dream Whip icing? Is this the same as or similar to PastryPride or Rich's Bettercream? I want to use PastryPride or Rich's Bettercream, but cannot find an affordable supplier here in NC.

Dreamwhip has a different taste than the Bettercreme. I am not sure about PastryPride. Dreamwhip is okay but it is powdered so it is like the difference between powdered milk and cream. I like the Bettercreme but I find it a bit pricey as well. Does anyone have a good recipe for this?

The Dreamy Cream b/c is very good, but it's not at all like Pastry Pride or Rich's Bettercreme.

Gordon Food Service (GFS) has it reasonably priced by the quart, and Sam's Club carries it in the bakery dept. (you have to ask) by the bucket.
