Frosting - House-Made and ready to use
Manufactured in-store, this basic frosting is perfect for colouring and flavouring. Made from vegetable shortening, icing sugar and water, the frosting holds up perfectly in our climate and is pure white.

Your frosting is ready to use, so it does not need to be whipped or stirred unless you are adding colouring or flavouring. Even then, it only needs to be stirred until your extra ingredients are combined.
The beauty of frosting is that it is NOT buttercream. It has a higher melting point than buttercream and is best stored at between 15-25 degrees. It is shelf-stable so does not need refrigeration.
If you do plan to refrigerate your frosting, keep in mind it will harden and need to be brought back to a soft, room temperature consistency to make an enjoyable eating experience.
In the winter, or if you've stored your frosting for a couple of weeks, it may become a little firmer. To bring back the silky smooth feel before piping or decorating, add a tablespoon of boiled water and stir the water through the frosting. You can also use the microwave in short 10 second bursts to reduce stiffness.
