You’re better off buying or making different icing
If you do want to buy this for a Wilton course or another reason, buy it at Michaels, AC Moore, or a local baking supply store. I love Amazon–really, I do. But this is listed at nearly $9.00 here. At Michaels it’s less than $4.00 (use a coupon and it’s a little more than half that). At a local baking supply store, it was $3.29 plus tax. I have no clue why this is so ridiculously overpriced here, and I’m annoyed I actually could have bought two or three at Michaels for the price of ONE here.
I think taste is in the mouth of the beholder…
I was surprised to see bad reviews for this frosting because I love it so much that I changed my own frosting recipe to mimic it. It’s a heavier frosting, but lighter (weight/sweetness-wise, I have no idea if it has less or more calories) than pure buttercream frosting feels.
I noticed the bad reviews and had to redeem this frosting. I really liked this frosting and quite a few people at my sisters wedding did as well.
Best Frosting Ever
Not a good taste

Bad taste
Deeeeelishis!
Can’t say I’d buy it again and pay $6-7 for shipping, but if I see them in a store or on Amazon with free Prime shipping again, I will.
Overpriced and Not Needed
The only way I would get it again is if it were on sale because it does give you icing of the right consistency for your first cake decorating class, if you’ve never made icing before.
