I have a cake due tomorrow. I knew I was going to do roses. Instead of trying to get the perfect consistancy, I iced the cake w/my homemade icing & bought wilton's white icing to use for my roses.

I just opened the container of Wilton icing & it is runny!!! It is so thin, that when I filled my bag, icing started running out of the tip! What can I do to make my homemade icing more stiff now...because I don't want to use this junky Wilton stuff now.

Do I just add more powdered sugar?? how much should I start with?

try whipping it first with a mixer. then slowly add powdered sugar to thicken it, half cup at a time.
