question about ICING/with added pudding
does anyone know the recipe for adding pudding to icing? one of my neighbors [who has since moved away] said you just add a cup of those little puddings to icing and voila`! her cakes were delicious because of her wonderful icing, but somehow i can't duplicate it! i tried, but it just about slid off the cake -- not sure what i did! is anyone familiar with the trick that makes it work? or did i just put too much on? i'm still laughing, but i really want to make some GOOD tasting icing.....any help? & thanks!

When I make pudding icing, I use the box. Instead of 2 cups of milk, use 1 cup, let it set for a few minutes and fold in a tub of thawed cool whip. Everyone likes it because it is not too sweet. I never heard of using pudding cups.

it is really good, the only thing i can think of is the fact that she always made just a sheet cake with that kind of icing and of course i was trying to icing a round double-decker layer cake -- no wonder it was sliding off. next time i just may add maybe half a cup of pudding, not the whole thing...

I Googled "icing using pudding" and found various recipes. All used Cool Whip and package pudding cooked or instant. Here is the link to one. http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/...ing-57256.aspx The cakes or cupcakes had to be refrigerated after icing.

Off the subject, but, I have a frosting tip. Used to make homemade frosting. Then, I experimented using store bought icing. Too hard to spread straight from the container. And there was always too much frosting...do not like thick sweet cake frostings. I now put container of frosting in the microwave on defrost for a minute or two. Frosting will become very spreadable and I use only half of a container for 13 by 9 cake. If you wanted peanut butter frosting, I use a container of cream cheese frosting and mix in 2 large tablespoons of peanut butter and stir well. MMM good.
