Is it good stuff?? I'm doing my son's cake on 2/24, which happens to be 2 days after my final cake for Course #2. icon_surprised.gif I'd rather not spend the next 3 weeks making icing batch after icing batch. So is it good for icing the cake AND making decorations?

I have used the chocolate and melted in the microwave and tinited it black for covering the wheels on my monster truck.The icing kinda went like ganache and a bit rubbery when it dried.I haven't used the white though.

I bought it just to try and I like the homemade buttercream 150% better. To me it was too thin and didn't have much taste. It was kind of like eatting sweet crisco. I'll never buy it again. Thank god I had a coupon. As a matter of fact it is still in my fridge downstairs. I hardly touched it, but it will be going to the dump soon.

I like to use it for my borders & shells. I don't icing the cake with it. It is kinda think and has more of a crisco taste to it. You can add flavor to it but i'm not sure how much it will change the taste.

I have used it and wasn't thrilled with it either. It's not tasty at all and it's really not the right consistancy for anything I found. Too thin for flowers etc, not thin enough to ice a cake. I far prefer the homemade icing.

I would have to agree with everyone else, I used it for a class in course 1 when I forgot my icing at home, and it wasn't really the right consistincy for anything. I didn't even bother with eating it. But I don't think it would have tasted that great.

I used to use it and I have to agree with everyone else it does taste like sweet crisco and the consistancy was never right I would end up putting it in my mixer and adding milk and flavor's to it anyway so its just easier for me to make my own frosting and cheaper to.

If you want a really good buttercream icing that you buy, PM me and I'll give you the name and number of the lady that I get mine from. She ships all over the U.S., and her icing is to die for.
