Hi Ladis -- I've been hooked on CC for awhile now. I have a quick question -- looking to make a double batch of the Wilton Buttercream recipe tonight -- do I need to modify it in any way or can I just double the ingredients??? Many thanks for your thoughts and guidance --
Dottie
I've doubled the recipe a few times and have not anything special, just doubled the ingredients. Just make sure you don't over mix it, and it should be fine.
Good luck!!!

At the very least you can double this. If you had a bigger mixer you could probably triple it.
Wow -- thank you so much for your quick response. I have the KitchenAid 4.5 quart -- double will work just fine. THank you all again. I'll be sure to post my cake this weekend.

Now that I have been doing cakes for about 10 years, I look back to that first year and just die laughing thinking about me making one batch of icing at a time. It just shows how much you learn as you talk to other people and after you have been doing it for a while. But it's things like that you don't know until you practice and talk to other people, which is what makes this place so great!
Thanks for your replies -- I totally agree. I'm still pretty new but I've learned so much just by reading posts in the forums and cruising through the galleries. No more single batches of icing for me either!!!!
Thanks again!

Dot, just wait, pretty soon you'll outgrow the little 2 and 5 lb bags of confectioners sugar! I started buying the 50 lb bag recently! Watch out, it can get out of conrol!
Holy Cow -- where do you find the 50 lb bags??? I'm buying the 4lbers from BJ's now... and I think that's ALOT !!!
That's good to know that you can get it in the "industrial" size. I doubled the BC recipe tonight and it was a breeze. Thank you all for your help. Attached is my picture from tonight's Course III final cake over in the photo gallery. I got the inspiration for it on this site.
