Recipe Talk

I'm desperate to find a recipe for a light whipped frosting like Costco uses on their cakes. It tastes like whipped cream but it seems to be a little stiffer and holds up better.
I've tried the so called "whipped cream frosting" recipes that use flour, milk and shortening. To me, they just taste like sweetened shortening.
Any ideas? Maybe a way to make whipped cream stiffer and hold up better?
Thanks!

I just used this receipt last week for the Easter cake. It turned out so good.


I container of white frosting,add ,1 8oz cream cheese. whip together .
Fold in 8 oz container of cool whip. Frost cake.

Hint I used only about 1/2 of the cool whip,taste to9 your preference. Enjoy
There is a product made by Rich (coffee creamer) called "Bettercreme". It is a liquid that you whip liked whipping cream. I get it at the local bakery supply store. You can check out the Rich website to find an outlet in your area.

Hope this helps

Butter Cream Decorator Icing
Posted by CookinMom at recipegoldmine.com May 14, 2001

1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1/2 cup margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or flavoring
4 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk* (or water)

Cream margarine and shortening. Add vanilla extract. Gradually add sugar, one cup at a time, beating well. Scrape sides of bowl often. Add milk and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy.

Keep icing covered with a damp cloth until cake is iced, or keep in fridge in an airtight bowl for up to 2 weeks.

Bring to room temperature and re-whip before using. Yield 3 cups.

For Chocolate icing: add 3/4 cup cocoa or 3 squares of unsweetened chocolate, melted; add an additional 1 -2 tablespoons milk.

Hint: Milk makes the icing "crusty"; water will keep the icing soft. You can also add 3-4 tablespoons light corn syrup to make it spreading consistency.

Pineapple flavoring is also excellent.

NOTE: For fancy cake decorating!

-------
Whipped Cream Frosting
5 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a saucepan dissolve flour with milk. Cook until a thick paste forms (this will look like wallpaper paste). Remove from heat and cover with plastic wrap until completely cool.

In a large bowl, add sugar, butter and vanilla extract. Beat with mixer to blend. Add flour paste to this mix and whip until sugar is dissolved. This takes about 10 minutes.

Yields enough to frost a 9 x 13-inch or 2-layer cake.

Thanks so much. That's exactly what I needed!
