For example, the code on one of the bottles is 12261C. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-cookie-icing-expire#post-1299934 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 17:06:17 +0000 mrbee 1299934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: Ok this is a bit geeky, but now I'm kinda curious how the codes work... do they match the system mentioned in the snippet above? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-cookie-icing-expire#post-1299928 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 17:05:15 +0000 lawbee11 1299928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Yep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-cookie-icing-expire#post-1299878 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 16:34:46 +0000 mrbee 1299878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: Just out of curiosity, are there codes printed on the bottom of your icing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-cookie-icing-expire#post-1299873 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 16:33:29 +0000 lawbee11 1299873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: perfect. Thank you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-cookie-icing-expire#post-1299763 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 15:24:32 +0000 mrbee 1299763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: This link seemed at first to indicate no:<br /> <a href="http://www.eatbydate.com/other/baking/how-long-does-frosting-last/" rel="nofollow">http://www.eatbydate.com/other/baking/how-long-does-frosting-last/</a></p> <p>But Wilton products are specifically mentioned, and you may be ok!</p> <p>"Wilton, who make the cans of “Ready to Decorate Icing” tells me that their cans never actually expire, but for best quality should be used within 24 months of the code printed on the bottom of the can. It’s decoded as follows. Let’s use the code G082120 – the G tells us that the can was made in July (ie. A=Jan, B=Feb,etc), the 08 tells us the year was 2008, the next 3 digits (212) tell us the date on the Julian calendar. So, the can with code G082120 was produced on July 31st, 2008 and retains full flavor until July 31st, 2010 but can be used beyond that with diminished quality." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-cookie-icing-expire#post-1299761 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 15:22:36 +0000 lawbee11 1299761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought this Wilton cookie icing last December. There isn't an expiration date on it. Think it's still good? </p> [attach=1395/13/mybv9p.600x600.image.jpg]
