What a wonderful idea!

I dilute/stretch lots of foods, beverages, especially orange juice. Add GROUND FLAXSEED to almost everything including cake mix & ice cream because it's very inexpensive and HEALTHY too

Now that's a great idea, I hadn't heard that one before.  My sons birthday is this week, I'll have to try it.

Great idea, I am always short on icing.

W.  hat a clever idea and it seems like it will make the frosting so much fluffier. Can't wait to try it

I like this alot of times i didn't have quite enough icing and had to by two or spread it real thin

posted on 3/16/2010 7:41:13 PM

What a great idea/tip!  Thank you. I will use this when I make cupcakes for my daughter's playdate birthday party in a few weeks.

I agree.  So much sugar has caused me not to use much frosting, but this sounds like a solution.  And I happen to have some frosting in the pantry just ready for the whip!  Thank you Elizabeth.

I just tried this tip this weekend and it worked wonderfully!!! I couldn't believe how much icing I had! I just put my Kitchenaid Mixer on 10 for a bit and walah!

This is a great tip and works wonderful! For my sons first birthday I made adorable Cookie Monster cupcakes and in order to do so had to put quite a bit of frosting on top to "round" them. I bought canned frosting and added some heavy whipping cream to it and blended it all together until it was stiff but still spreadable. It gave the frosting an awesome whipped and light texture and the taste was wonderful.

I like the idea about the frosting. That way i can put more on my cakes.

Ohhhh Awesome tip!

posted on 3/15/2010 3:11:51 PM

I think that is a great idea.

posted on 3/15/2010 2:40:28 PM

Does it work with homemade frosting? 

posted on 3/15/2010 2:18:07 PM

That is a great tip!  For some rason I thought whipping them too much meant they would come out drier than usual.  I will definitely give this a try!  In fact, I plan to make a pineapple upside down cake today.. sure would be nice to get more for my buck! :)

posted on 3/15/2010 2:16:49 PM

I am sooooo going to try this! I am always wishing I had just a little bit more icing. Thanks!

posted on 3/15/2010 1:57:36 PM

Nice...will have to try it and see - tho I try to make all my own frosting.

posted on 3/15/2010 12:54:18 PM
