I am running out of time to finish a cake for DH's company picnic...would Wilton's ready made icing work instead? I usually make my own, but I am running out time. If anyone has used it, please tell me what you think and if you like using it...thanks,
trish

Well when I used it, the consistency seemed a little off...almost like it was TOO thin. A little confectioners sugar fixed that issue though.

Hi , yeah it is ok. I mean I didn't ice my whole cake with it, I bought it to try and made my roses with it. the taste is maybe a 7 out of 10 and 8 outof 10 for workability in my opinion. Goodluck hope you get it done in time. icon_smile.gif

I bought the huge tub of it and it tastes great in my opinion - and in my husband's opinion! I was running out of icing and time and so I used that - and it turned out just fine. I prefer to make my icing just b/c I like to make my own icing - but in a pinch, I definitely feel I could use Wilton's.

I always buy the Wilton for my black and red. I think it is fine for doing regular cakes and outlining. What are you trying to do with it?

Hey Trish I just thought of this. I have read where people have bought buttercream from I think Sams bakery. Not sure but maybe someone else remembers where. That would be another solution for you. BTW my hubbie is having a company picnic this weekend as well. I am making cookies for that.

I am decorating 3 layers: a 6" round, 8" square and a 15" hexagon...so I'd have to make a lot of icing. It's a fall harvest cake with candy sunflowers, leaves, a pumkin patch...etc.

When I took a Wilton's class, someone in our class bought it...it was too thin to decorate with. The instructor just kept adding powdered sugar to it.
