Brite White - Page 2

Oh wow! This shop is a amazing I've never come across it before, thanks for sharing the link. And yay they do international shipping /happydance

Yes, they carry everything but the kitchen sink.--and they may have those, too, but I never looked.

They have red & black royal icing mix--I keep it on hand because I find that, like fondant, adding lots of powdered color or liquid color to my regular recipe can lead to problems. It's so nice to just be able to mix up a 1/4 cup, or even less, and re-seal the bag for next time.

Woah I haven't got to that section yet but seriously? :O I never even knew royal icing came premixed in different colours other than white. Normally if I wanted it coloured, I'd either dye it with pastes or paint it after with dusts. Opens up a whole new world lol!

(Reminds me of the LOTR quote "They come in pints?!")

I always used Brite White when I made cakes about 12 years ago, but stopped due to carpel tunnel. I just got the recipe from the shop that I used to get it from, this is for a smaller batch.

I would assume that Brite White and Angel White Icing Base are going to do the same thing, someone with more knowledge can correct me if I am wrong.

Anyway, the Brite White is a great addition to the following ingredients as it makes for a fluffier, creamier frosting that really does hold up well outside as well as in. I can add any clear flavoring to the batch, and it colors wonderfully.

The texture of Brite White is a cream color, but is much stiffer than any Crisco shortening I have ever used. It is mixed in a tabletop mixer.

Directions: The Crisco and Brite White are whipped until blended together, and then water is added. You then add flavoring and slowly add the powdered sugar and meringue, which is optional. I always mixed my frosting on almost high speed for 20 minutes, yes that's 2-0 minutes.

It makes for a fluffly frosting that works awesomely in decorating bags. I was also able to smooth frost cakes using the hot knife method. The recipe for the Brite White Decotaor Frosting is below. If you use it, please leave a reply as to how yours turned out. Hope this helps anyone interested.
