I have used 3 sets of these for many years and wish I had more. Although the newer designs are like 1 board with 3 different "waves" in it...this older model with its design is much...
I always have some of the White in my pantry for those days when the grandkids are over and want to make something. I have many of the other colors...but sometimes the kiddos want to make their...

Custom Cupcake Wrappers are an easy way to add a special touch to a party. I like to use them for baby showers because I can put the name of the family on the wrapper. And no...
I live in MO in the summer and TX in the winter. Both of my kitchens have the pro mixer. I absolutely love both of my pro Kitchen Aids. Very sturdy and wonderful for breadmking. I still wish that...
does it change the taste...or rather do you taste the flavor of the particular creamer you are using? is it the piauid or the poweder? didnt see an answer to that part.
I just tried this with chocolate cake this weekend, and it was really yummy. I used the dry hazelnut kind and mixed with water into my chocolate buttercream. It was really good.
Oooooh, I need to give an "Amen!" to Chisteena on the Hazelnut w/ chocolate cake!!! I love that Hazelnut creamer so much, I could bathe in it! Well, maybe not... But I really love it!
OMG, I love this... I heard of it but never paid much attention to understand how they did it... I LOVE IT!! I must go to the store today and buy some to try! Now, just a question... does it change the color of the BC? Or would it alter any color gel color? What if I want to decorate with blue BC, would I get the same color blue as with regular BC? Thanks so much and Thank You for this thread!
I just had an idea... what about those flavored syrups?? I just bought Davinci Syrup (Hazelnut) for my coffee. It's just a flavored simple syrup. No refrigeration needed. Would those work?? If so, there is a coffee house nearby that sells flavored syrups, in a ton of varieties. They even have a Chai Spice syrup. hmmmmmm....Anyone ever try those? If so, how did it turn out?
PS...I wonder if you could "wash" the cakes with the flavored syrup. (Dang..if only my boss could see how many hours I log into this site...I'd be getting a pink slip for sure!)
This is a bit OT, but during Christmas time I made an eggnog cake with eggnog BC. I used DH yellow cake and substituted eggnog for water and same for my BC. Everyone loved it!!
I would think the coffee syrups would work great. I'll have to give that a try. The amount used is so small compared to your sugar/shortening ratio that any color change would be MINOR! I never worry about it!
If you do a search on google or whatever engine, you can get to Coffee Mate's website and get some good coupons for $1.00 or $1.50 off. Just an idea if you want to try it without spending full price. Hobby Lobby is running a Wilton coupon on their site this week, too. (There is another thread started on that.)
DAVINCI SYRUP:
I've used the caramel flavored syrup when I torte my cakes, I add a little bit to have my cakes be extra moist, turns out great!! Just make sure you don't add TOO much, otherwise you cakes will collapse (if too wet). HTH
