I just bought the pastry pride I have heard so much about. It came in a quart size container. Has anyone used this? How did you like it? How much do I need to use for a 9" cake?
Any ideas are appreciated. TIA 
Pastry pride and Frostin' Pride are both delicious. It makes a very light fluffy icing. It is a bit tricky to get it perfectly smooth, don't sweat it too much. It pipes borders very well. There is another thread posted about pastry pride hints, by JanH
It will help you with some additional info.

You'll need about 1/4 - to ice the cake and more for borders. I like it okay, but to me it has an aftertaste that my DH doesn't taste. It smooths easily.
In my picks, I have a sheet cake (baby shower) that was iced with Flavor Rite (very similar to Pastry Pride).
Good luck!

I've used Pastry Pride often. It holds up fairly well, you can store it whipped for a couple of day in the fridge, whip it and it's ready to go again. It freezes very well and will last, frozen, for 3-4 months. It smooths well, and is easy to pipe. I don't think it holds its shape quite as well as buttercream but if you're not planning on doing roses this is perfect.
To make enough filling for a 10" to 12" round cake I use 1 cup of thawed Pastry Pride. If I were going to fill and ice the cake I would guess about half the container. I know it says to not refreeze but I have done it and never had any adverse effects. I just can't use up the remainder that quickly with the small amount of cakes I do. I have also thawed and beaten the whole container and then froze what I didn't use. It does change the texture when it is thawed, but mixed with the instant Jello pudding in the Bavarian cream recipe it works perfectly well.
