I did actually try this yesterday afternoon. I had found it in "USA Weekend" just yesterday, courtesy of their food columnist, Pam Anderson. I was making a cake for last nights dinner, and since I was using a canned frosting...I thought I would give it a whirl. It really does make canned frosting taste like homemade!
