I see Betty Crocker has one for the whipped frosting:</p> <p>Q. Can I pipe Whipped frosting through a pastry tube?<br /> A. It'll work fine in a pastry tube. But use a smaller amount at a time, and pipe as quickly as possible. The warmth from your hands and the squeezing will start to soften the frosting, and it will lose its shape and air. (We do not recommend piping Rich &amp; Creamy frosting through a pastry tube.)</p> <p><a href="http://www.bettycrocker.com/products/frosting/faq" rel="nofollow">http://www.bettycrocker.com/products/frosting/faq</a></p> <p>ETA: Duncan Hines piping with canned frosting tips! <a href="http://www.duncanhines.com/baking-tips/frostings/dh/piping-with-canned-frosting" rel="nofollow">http://www.duncanhines.com/baking-tips/frostings/dh/piping-with-canned-frosting</a> Totally poke around the site of whatever brand you are trying to use.

Are we talking lettering, roses, or something else? You may have to adjust the consistency down a little to do lettering or "run" style (where you pipe a fairly solid border and then fill in with more liquidy frosting). I haven't used canned frosting in AGES, but if I remember right it is fairly thick. You could probably do rosettes, flowers, etc. as is, or thin it a little to do lettering. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-frosting-experts-out-there#post-803350 Thu, 23 May 2013 11:54:18 +0000 MamaMoose 803350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @mrs. wagon: that if you want to pipe store bought frosting you should buy the kind with the tip already on it rather than trying to get the frosting from the can into a piping bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-frosting-experts-out-there#post-803339 Thu, 23 May 2013 11:50:26 +0000 mrs. wagon 803339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes! You can also buy ready-to-pipe cans of frosting! with tips and everything. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-frosting-experts-out-there#post-803334 Thu, 23 May 2013 11:49:38 +0000 mediagirl 803334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Question - can you pipe can frosting? Like the Duncan Hines stuff? I don't want to make my own frosting for M's birthday cake but I want to pipe it onto her cake. </p>
