How much does the buttercream and cream cheese icing cost???

I haven't ever purchased the cream cheese icing, but the buttercream is $26-$27 per bucket.

I haven't purchased it.. I was wondering how it tasted??

I just picked up the list today. Cr. cheesr icing is 19.1 lbs and costs $28.28. do they sell cake boxes and boards too? my list doesn't incl. them???

they also sell the buttercream already tinted....they come in smaller tubs...ex: Black bc is 8 lbs. and $11.58. most other colors that size are $9.48

Huh...I never thought of purchasing pre-made buttercream. How does it taste??

Is this available in the Sam's club stores or online? I never knew that Sam's sold this stuff! Thanks for the heads up...

I have gone through two buckets of icing from Sam's and none of my regulars could tell the difference. In fact a family member said one time while eating a piece of cake "you make the best frosting, I could eat it by the spoonfuls". You just have to remember to throw it in a bowl and mix it up good. I also add some additional flavoring depending on the flavor of cake.

You know that greasy, make you go into diabetic shock (even if you don't already have diabetes, lol)
frosting they use at wallymart?
It's the same exact stuff.

My regulars could not tell the difference either. Everyone has said that they love it. It is a bit sweeter than my recipe, but hey, it's less than half the cost of making it myself, and it saves a lot of time!!! I'm on my 3rd bucket, and love it! It's probably what I would consider a thin consistency. It probably would need thickening up if you were planning to do roses, etc. They sell it in the bakery section, it's not on the shelf. You have to ask someone in the bakery for it.

When you go to the Sams bakery, ask for the wholesale list...a few workers had no idea what I was talking about.

How long would you say it lasts? don't need to refrigerate it , right?

no the icing doesnt need to be in the fridge, each bucket has a use by date, it is only sold in the bakery department, not all sam's has a bakery and not all of the employees know about it, in this case talk to a manager. if you can buy their items you can get...

chocolate buttercream
colored buttercream

I have a question. Can you also buy their whipped icing they use on some of their cakes? I have tried a ton of recipes and can't even come close. TIA

yes, they have the whipped icing in all colors too

I love the taste of Sams Club icing. I didn't know you could but it. Awesome!

My question is how does it smooth? Is it easy can you use the same methods as if you made it yourself?

I absolutely agree. I work full time and have 3 kids under 13 at home and it is so nice to be able to do a cake or cupcakes and not have to spend time making the frosting. Just dump a couple spoonfuls in the KA bowl add some flavoring and mix it up. It is fantastic! Worked great for when the neighbors moved in and I wanted to give them some "welcome" cupcakes. Didn't have to wait for the weekend because of all the extra time and cleanup. I HIGHLY recommend it.

Does it crust so you can smooth it with Melvira's roller?

I have heard it does crust well. I am going to buy some in Sept. and find out for myself!

Thanks for the info girltrapped, I'm going to have to give it a try..........I hate making icing!

Im on my 5th bucket of white and my first bucket of chocolate and I LOVE THE STUFF!!!!! It saves so much time and no one can tell the difference.

Wow I didn't realize you could get all that from them..thanks for the info juledcakes

approx. how long is the shelf life of this stuff? I dont do alot of cakes but I was wondering if it would be worth me getting.

also approx. how many sheet cakes can you cover with it?

I started this thread awhile back regarding Sam's and Walmart buttercream. I thought maybe someone might want to refer to this thread for unanswered questions. If I remember right we ended up discussing cost differences between bought and homemade.
