Hi,
I took a the Wilton deocrator basics class last month. I am trying to make a cake for my Dad's bday. He likes the milk chocolate icing that comes out of a can. Can i use this icing to ice the cake and then use decorator icing for the decorations on the cake?
Thanks for your help.

after you bake your cakes, freeze them..that way if you use the can icing it doesnt break your cake..also..if your gonna make decorating icing, would he really know the difference if you made homemade chocolate icing..its so much better tasting..=p..anyhow..hope this helps...
Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Frosting tastes very much like the canned frosting that your dad likes, but the consistency is much better for icing smooth and decorating. Very easy to make as well.

If you want more of a home style, non smooth cake, then you can totally ice the cake with the canned frosting, especially if that is what he likes. 
Here's the recipe for the cake and the icing is at the bottom

You can def. use both with no issues. Let the base icing"canned in this case" firm up a bit after icing the cake. You will be able to decorate it with the pro. cake icing.
Good Luck! and Happy Bday to your dad!!http://decoratedcupcakeideas.com
my mom used to decorate with canned frosting- and she would dump it in the mixer with a teeny bit of milk to whip it up to a more spreadable consistency without tearing the cake trying to crumb coat it... i haven't tried this, but it may be worth a shot- and it would still be the same taste your dad loves. Good luck!
