I've been experimenting with it lately and I think I like it. However, I did make a white cake into a rasberry flavor using Icing fruit. The flavor was great, but it seemed that my cake was a litte heavy. Has anyone else had that problem?

How much did you add?

The recommended ratio is 1 oz. icing fruit to 2 lbs. of icing or batter.

I've used icing fruits for a decade. I just throw it in until it "looks right."

JanH, is this the same icing fruit that is in the plastic sleeves also. I have used those also.

Yes I have had that problem before. I just have to use less of the icing fruit.

I use them all the time, I LOVE them! I use them in the cake batter and in the frosting.

icer101, the plastic sleeves are RTU (ready to use) spreadable pastry fillings:

The icing fruit is concentrated so it's more paste like:
(I don't think it's something you'd use as is - it's definitely a mix-in.)

I've tried using the sleeved pastry filling to flavor b/c and by the time the flavor was discernible - the b/c was soupy and overly sweet....

I have a jar of CK orange which I haven't tried yet, but I'm sure it would be better than using the sleeved pastry filling which didn't work out at all for me....

Sleeved fillings are just that - fillings. Icing fruit is quite different.
