Is there any way to doctor up store bought Wilton icing?
I've never tried it, but I would think that you could add flavorings to it, just like a home-made buttercream icing....
Thanks for responding! BTW I love your cakes & cookies!
WAY back in the day, before I knew about making your own tasty frostings, this is what I did. I would by the canned cr@p and then put it into my mixer, whip up until soft and smooth and add extracts, or melted chocolate chips to make it taste fresh.
I know Wiltons canned stuff is like the paste you used to get in the jars in primary school...hahaha, so whip it good!
The thing with Wiltons can icing is the more you stir it the softer it gets. So if you need a medium or stiff considency you would need to add powder sugar. Once you add the powder sugar you can add flavorings or cocoa, peanutbutter, or anything else you might want.
Thanks for all the tips. The reason for my question is I am making a baby shower cake for Sunday & I am short on time. I know I can get a large container of Wiltons icing to color & flavor. Also, I only have a hand mixer & it is harder & more time consuming to make large batches of some icing. I have tried several of the recipes but have not yet found THE ONE!
