I was very disappointed in the amount of icing that was not in there. The bucket was not even half full.
Easier than trying to mix up a good black by your self
I needed black buttercream for a buttercream transfer. I've tried making it from scratch but have had problems getting the buttercream black enough. I've gotten it black enough by adding cocoa powder to black gel, but then the buttercream is too dry to pipe and crumbles. (The gel I had only got it to a gray color.) It was suggested I buy pre-made buttercream in black. I tried this product, and it tasted awful. It was a bit too soft and would bleed or spread into other colors made with my homemade buttercream. After freezing it, it crumbled around the edges. Between the bleeding and crumbling, the overall shape became distorted. Then It sweat when I took it out of the freezer and put it in the refrigerator after being transferred onto the cake. You can see these problems in this photo. The edging around the buttons isn't crisp. The ear shapes aren't fully round. You can see the edge crumbled in parts. The black buttercream is sweating while my homemade buttercream in red and yellow isn't. I'm not a master cake decorator by any means, but I thing this should have turned out better. Overall, I cannot recommend this. After my one cake, I tossed the rest of it. I can't use it on another cake. I was very disappointed.
Delicious and beautiful! It was black BLACK!! And that is exactly what I wanted, I tried getting black frosting everywhere else and it was brown, not black. This one was PERFECT for the cake i wanted to make my boyfriend. It was also DELICIOUS! Easy to use for a first time cake maker, the consistency was easy to work with and I’m definitely buying again for the next cake.
this is the worst frosting i’ve ever used.
It spreads easily but tastes metallic.
Overpriced for the amount you get
Texture and quality was great, tasted very fresh.
Not worth the money. No fresh hard to spread.
The buttercream exceeded my expectations.
I wish the price was lower, but was willing to pay it because I couldn’t find black frosting. The quality and how it spreads it great too
All good as described Thank You
Disgusting! Tried to make my daughter’s birthday cake for her party TOMORROW and this frosting tastes horrific! It tastes like plastic! I tried adding butter and sugar, nothing helped! Now I’m stuck with this disgusting frosting that I can’t not serve and have to find another option for a cake for tomorrow! So frustrated!
Very yummy. It kind of sticky so be very careful when putting it on.
It was exactly what I wanted and needed
Color is great but when I received my container it wasn’t sealed closed so now I can’t even use it since it was open.
Was not a big fan of the flavor, tasted a bit plastic-y to me. My wife liked it though. Also, it turns your tongue and teeth black, though I would expect that from black frosting, just be warned.
It was used as part of a Mickey mouse cake and it came out well. Good frosting if you are looking to make pictutor patterns on the cake.
The color was good but made my home smell like playdough it says you can microwave it to thin it down but it just separates and clumps .
Great product. Piped well
When I took out of package one of the containers was open. Its a good thing they are wrapped in plastic because black would have been everywhere. I love the texture of this buttercream and the taste is ok. Perfect black for as the color. It wasn't ashy.
I liked it but it tasted a little chalky and it stains your skin and mouth black.
The color and texture are fantastic. I could never have made such a pure color. It’s hard to get around a highly pigmented frosting not tasting like food coloring, but I used the recommended additions to make it taste more homemade and also added 1tsp of vanilla. That helped a lot to taste more like the usual frosting. The red frosting tastes better than the black which is not surprising given how much color is needed for black. I will definitely use these again though because it saved me a ton of time and gave me the look I was going for
Not sure why it was recommended to mix with powdered sugar~~ was better right out of tub!
I like that it was black but taste gross at least to me, even following the directions to make it like homemade
Ordered black. It is very black, but not very tasty. Very plain taste.
Yeah it tastes good but I've observed some things about it, one it has a hue of purple in it so not truely black, two if left on the cake for a few days it develops a playdough flavor ew, three also I have developed instant stomach problems eating too much of that frosting.
This black cake frosting is hands down the best frosting I have ever tasted! It is so smooth and creamy, with the perfect balance of sweetness. It spreads beautifully on cakes and cupcakes, and is easy to work with when decorating. The black allows for endless creative possibilities - you can add food coloring, sprinkles, or other decorations to customize it to your liking. Plus, it has a great shelf life and stays fresh for days. I highly recommend black cake frosting to anyone looking for a versatile and delicious frosting option. You won't be disappointed!
I like that my idea goes very well with the product. My family was very happy
Thought I would tag this as a five star since no one is allowed to see the lower stars. How is that possible when there are over 30% of reviews that are under five stars. This was not even half full. What a money waste. I had to use what little there was though since I had a cake order that was due and no time to get anything else. So was not able to return. Won’t be doing this again for sure.
