: I was considering buying the pre whipped icing from Sams Club. Have you ever used this before and can it be colored? I know with the Frostin Pride the more you mix it the stiffer it gets. Wasn't sure about the premade. I know it comes in a large bucket. Havn't use Bettercreme before. Do you think I would have the same problems with stiffness? I really hate working with this stuff. I told the lady that you can't do string work with whipped icing. She must have forgotten because she asked me to bring my books so she can pick out what she wants on the side of the cakes. I just told her that I don't have book anymore. She was the one that lost them. That's the only reason I am taking on this cake to jack up the price so that I can replace them. No more cakes for her after this is done. Thanks for you help Jeff.



: I find that using gel colors rather than paste makes it much easier to control the amount added for consistent results.

The smoothing issue....is the problem due to bubbles in the icing?  If so, measure out a portion into a small mixing bowl and mix on low with a small hand held mixer with two beaters...this will smooth the texture a great deal.
: : Color one batch....keep track of the amount of coloring you use....then add that amount to each batch BEFORE whipping....should be close enough.

: When using whipped icing I find it hard to get the icing perfectly smooth is there a trick someone can share? Also the cake that I have to make is 7 cakes that has to be frosted in this stuff(light blue) the more you use it the stiffer the icing gets. How can I 
Thanks Jeff.



get the color of each batch to match since I won't be able to whip them all at once. Figured I need 6 to 7 quarts of whipped icing. Tried to talk her out of using whipped icing but she doesn't like sweet icings. I hate working with it.
