Absolutely! When you get it, open it and stir it up and go for it. I love this stuff.

Yep! You can use this frosting for cup cakes....any type of cake or cookie, etc. It's pretty thick, but can be thinned out with milk or cream. The ony thing I didn't like about this frosting was the taste. It has a salty after taste. On taste alone, I cannot recommend this frosting.

It tastes phenomenal but it is made as a pretty thick consistency so if you use it like a normal spread I would thin it or you can swirl it from a bag fine.

You can use this to ice about anything! It has a medium to thick consistency. I think that it tastes pretty well. Obviously, it is not as good as making it from scratch, but in my opinion, it is well worth the time saved! I plan on using this for future birthday cakes that I make.

it is not as thick and doesnt taste as good as the butter cream recipe wilton provides. it is easier to spread because of the consistency. you can use it for cupcakes.

No it's not clear I'm afraid.It's a bit thick like syrup but smells heavenly as vanilla should :). Good luck with your baking.

Yes, it works just fine for both frosting and for cookies. Use the stiff frosting, if you are making it.

I am not aware of liners for the giant cupcake. The frosting that you pipe or frost on looks like the liner when it is completed. I use a star tip and create the liner to match the occasion. Usually a # 18 , and drag the frosting up the sides. Looks really cute as a finished product.

It tastes like ice cream...think "creamsicle" and is very thick with a texture like yogurt. My doctor said I can mix this in water or smoothies, so if you use it for a salad you may want to thin this out.

It is barely edible. They sell it for food but it is not a food product. You don't want more than the tiniest bit on a cupcake. That being said, one container will cover a few dozen cupcakes.

It Taste like buttercream. It is actually one of the better tasting fondants just to sloppy. Hopefully the texture will be better for you.

I have not used it for that purpose, but I think it would be great in any xxx sugar recipe for icing. It is dehydrated maple syrup so the flavor is very good. It can be hydrated to use for syrup, flavoring and glaze. I really like the product.

Um...sugar? Lets just say in the world of fondant, homemade is prob the best tasting, but biggest extra hassle since you make from scratch. Absolute worst tasting but most readily available is Wilton. Satin Ice is the best of the best for cake decorating, and actually tastes GOOD and I don't even care for the stuff. Best texture too. Very easy to work with. Don't have any fresh sitting around to give you an ingredient list but found this online: SugarCorn SyrupPalm OilNatural and Artificial flavourings Gum TragacanthGlycerineCellulose GumModified Corn StarchPotassium SorbateAcetic acidTitanium DioxideCaramel color Cocoa Powder Um...sugar?

No I don't think so. If you don't frost it, you could force it into the cup. Not really for a cupcake

The best way I can describe it is a pliable yet firm paste. This may be a strange comparison, but it's similar to frozen cake frosting.

I don't think I'd try frosting in this. I'd stick to more liquidy products, such as eggs for french toast, pancakes, whipped cream, etc. The beaters are a good grade plastic with plastic gears to turn the beaters but this is by no stretch of the imagination, heavy duty. If I needed a manual beater that was more heavy duty, I'd go for the old fashioned stainless steel egg beater, which I also have and love, but it IS a lot of work, smiles.

Yes! I would absolutely use it to make a cake! We've made brownies with it many times! I often use it for mug cakes when I'm in the mood for something sweet but don't want a whole cake in the house!

Yes, it is indeed thicker. It doesn't change the texture of things, but it sweetens without bitterness.

I'm not sure how thick but my husband said it's perfect. First time user and pizelles turned out good. Thickness vary by how much batter you use. I use between one heaping tablespoon to a little less. I used anise extract but will try vanilla or anise oil next. I have to figure how long I should have it on as I go depending on how dark or light I want the pizelles to be. I also use cake flour (only one I had that day) and I even sifted it. I don't know if that made any difference but from other reviews I read they sift their regular flour. Hope that helps.

No, I didn't notice any flavor, it only stabilizes the cream so it doesn't turn "runny" after a few hours like whipped cream tends to do....good to use for when making whipped cream frosting for a cake. I used it for a black forest cherry cake that called for whipped cream frosting, worked great.

I used it to frost a 3 layer 10inch cake. It worked fine for me, I'm new to the decorating world.
