Does any know of a good whipped icing like you can get at the bakery. I am so tired of just plain Wilton buttercream. I have several people ask for whipped icing, but don't have one. Help, please!

Have you ever tried makeing your own whipped icing you can just buy heavy whipping cream at any store its very simple

Here's a couple...

I'd really like a recipe for this one too. If I make just a whipped icing with heavy cream and PS and add a little gelatin to it will that stabilize it??

krystalp, are these recipes similar to Pastry Pride?

I've never used pastry pride...so I'm not sure. I've tried the recipe with cream cheese in it...it's yummy! I've never used the other one though. Just ran across it the other day. Sorry I can't be more help.

I know of no homemade recipe that successfully duplicates the whipped icing used in bakeries and mass merchandisers.

However, I can direct you to better than plain Wilton B/C recipes.

P.S. I agree with krystalp, the whipped cream (cream cheese) frosting is wonderful. But it's not as stable as Pastry Pride or Rich's Bettercreme and does require refrigeration.

I made a whipped icing with heavy cream and gelitan once. It tasted horrible. I will deffinitly check out some of the sites suggested by JanH. I also have alot of requests for the whipped icing and would like to find a good one. Thanks
