Pastry Pride is sold in Smart and Final stores if you have them where you live. Find it in the frozen desserts isle. It is sold frozen in quart sized containers, like milk. I use it often. You thaw it in in your fridge over a 24 hour…

I got a sample of an icing this past weekend from my local cake specialty store. The woman said her son has a Baskin Robbins and this is the icing they use. I want to say she called it some Pride. It was already whipped like a buttercream. I felt it…

Erica, I just did some Google-ing on Pastry Pride. It is a commercial product and can be purchased at most warehouse clubs - Sam's calls it Rich's Bettercream, you'll need to ask for it at the bakery counter. I also saw a comment…

Pastry Pride Question

Hello, everyone I have a question for someone who knows about this product called pastry pride a non-dairy whipping cream, which it comes in a liquid and you mix it in the mixer for 10 minutes and that's it -you spread it on to the cake. It looks so smooth and good. Well my question is where can I find it? I live in Houston Texas and I wish to find it or something similar to it, if anyone can help. Thank you,EricaSee More

Hello Everyone, I just wanted to properly introduce myself so you can know little bit more about me. I am a counselor just not yet licensed (working on it) :) I have been married for 7 years in this June and I have two beautiful girls(5 and 4 years old). Once, I graduated from grad school, my husband and I decided that I would stay at home until both girls would start school and then I would work on starting my counseling career.

I melted the wafers in a ziplock bag, snipped the corner and drew on wax paper the brown outline, then filled in with orange. I used a toothpick to draw the 2 colors together then let harden. Each wing and antenna is done seperately and all held together in the end with some chocolate frosting piped down the middle to make the body. I hope this helps!

I would love to take actual culinary classes or classes at the art institute for it. By chance, are you the same Erica from Tomball who made my daughter's Mickey Mouse Clubhouse bday cake last year?

At 10:39am on May 13, 2010, Connie DeGood said…: well you know... i do not have a shop.. but yes i do make them... and i am compensated most of the time! :) i have a local kitchen i can use if needed that is a licensed approved facility. I am making my first actual wedding cake on June 5 for our music leader at church. i am very nervous and excited all together. I know where that shop is located in Sugar land.. but right now no funds to take their course.. i am sure it is good... according to the fee they charge! but i live at least 45 to 1 hour away from sugar land.. i am about 40 miles north of Houston.. Well off to the supply store.. have you been to Amazin cake supply off of Bissonet? i think they just moved to Bellaire Blvd this month? It is a long drive and would really like to know if it would be worth driving over there. THanks
