I just got a truck load of Wilton stuff from Hobby Lobby 1/2 off and in my collection of goodies I picked up a bottle of Wilton's White Icing. I guess it's suppose to whiten/lighten frosting (ie if you use butter/marg. to make BC frosting).
Anyone use this before?? Does it leave any taste?

Thanks!

YEs...I've used it and it seems to work fairly well. It is also good to mix food color paints when painting on fondant (to lighten or change colors)

I use it for all my wedding cakes when the bride wants white icing. I refuse to use all shortening icing b/c it's just nasty, but I don't care for the off white color of BC icing on a wedding cake. Wilton's white coloring is awesome! I've never noticed any weird taste, and it doesn't change the consistency of my icing. I had a bride recently that wanted white royal icing decorations on white BC base icing. I used Wilton's white coloring in my BC, and it was just as white as the royal icing! IMO, it's definitely a good buy. icon_biggrin.gif
