I was wondering if anyone has tried using kool-aid in their buttercream for color and taste, if so how did it turn out?

Thanks

I never tried it, but my first thoughts are that it might make the buttercream somewhat gritty and way too sweet.

I've heard many people recommend it but I just can't bring myself to trying it. I can't even imagine it being good.

That just does not sound good to me. I can't imagine how it tastes. icon_confused.gif To me Kool-ade is for drinking, not cake icing. icon_rolleyes.gif

I personally havent tried this, but I know a girl who did. She used the already sweetened koolaid and I dont know how much she added, but it was ok! But I think it interferred with the taste of the cake and icing. Of course I couldnt bring myself to telling her that!. The color came out a light lilac, it was pretty, not gritty, but the taste conflicted I think.
