Hi SaronLee, nice to meet you, and I hope you enjoy cheftalk. To answer your question, I'm not sure what kind of icing you are referring to, or what kind of bakery for that matter. Many bakeries use buttercreams made with shortening, or whipped topping instead of whipped cream. Chances are, if you are looking at something stark-white, it's one of those two things. If it's a good quality buttercream, it will be a shade of ivory or pale yellow, and probably very smooth. Those are obviously more expensive to make, and you'd more likely find them in more expensive bakeries. Can you be more specific as to the look and flavor you are after? |
