I am needing to make some Whipped Icing for a cake this weekend and I'm not sure which is the best recipe to make. Does anyone have a good recipe for one? I want it to taste like the icing at the bakeries. I also want to be able to decorate with it.

Thanks,
Ruthie

Alot of the bakeries use Rich's Bettercreme. It comes in a carton and you whip it. This may be what you are referring to.

I was just about to ask the same question-something that is usuable to decorate not just whipped cream but not as heavy as BC

I don't have any recipes for whipped topping that will hold up. The only thing I can suggest is "Whip'n'top" or "Pastry Pride". They both come in a quart size container.

do you have to add any sugar to rich's bettercreme or to pastry pride? Are they just like whipping creams?

I usually buy my Whipped Icing at a local cake supply store. I pay $15.00 for a quart (I think it's a quart) It is alot of icing. It is liquid all I have to do is put it into the mixer until it is a stiff consistency and they use it to ice your cakes. It is wonderful. I don't remember the brand I use.

Sam's wholesale might sell stuff like that too.

I use to buy it at Walmart but most of the Walmarts don't sell the icing anymore. I know Kroger's does because I bought some from them not to long ago.

I just used, for the first time, 'Frostin' Pride',and it was like Costco frosting....whipped and creamy. I also bought Pastry Pride and Rich's Bettercream but haven't used it yet.
I havent found a recipe to make at home that is like the Costco icing. None I have made could be piped very easily and most have to stay refrigerated.

Wilton used to have a whipped icing in a box. You just add ice water. I don't know if they sell it anymore though. It was a nice whipped texture and it was relatively easy to decorate with.
