  • Lovely and easy

    5 out of 5

    I’ve tried all the Betty Crocker frosting cans and this one is my favourite. The vanilla flavour is spot on, the icing is silky and smooth. Perfect product.


  • Easy

    4 out of 5

    This product is super easy to use. If you want a quick job of having your cake iced then it very easy to use. The taste was good


  • Tastes like oil.

    0.5 out of 5

    It just tastes like oil and musty artificial flavoring. Most people are complaining about how sweet it is, but I just can’t get past the oil taste.


  • Frosting

    5 out of 5

    I love frosting especially on cupcakes is best and vanilla is the best flavour not to rich and not too plain I could eat it straight from the container


  • How they can call this pre made icing that you’d normally make at hime

    0.5 out of 5

    I don’t get it.

    1 it isn’t proper is icing like you’d make yourself.

    Buttercream icing is basically 2 ingredients a icing sugar and butter or margarine.

    2 it contains ingredients that really shouldn’t be anywhere near a freshly baked cake for example Betty Crocker Vanilla Buttercream Style Icing Contains

    Palm Fat. (Why?)
    Water (why?)
    Invert Sugar Syrup (I hatever this is)
    Emulsifiers E471. Mono- and diglycerides
    E435 Polyoxyethylene
    E481 Sodium stearoyl lactate
    Salt not my personal choice but some people do say that salt cuts the sweetness of the sugar.
    Preservative E202 a necessity for mass produced foods to stop moulds etc….. real name is Potassium sorbate,
    Stabiliser (E450), Potassium and sodium di-phosphates. It is normally added to bread
    Acidity Regulators E524 Sodium hydroxide
    E330 Citric acid (why? It’s vanilla not orange or lemon flavour
    Flavouring. Doesn’t state what flavour
    Colour (E160a). Carotenes Yes made from the humble carrot and is between yellow and orange.

    How can they call they call this icing in the traditional sense. Yes it’s quick and easy by it isn’t real vanilla icing you’d make yourself. I don’t even see vanilla as one of the ingredients!


  • Not great

    2 out of 5

    I remember this product tasting better than it did the last time I bought it.
    Bought it recently for the kids so they could practice their Halloween cupcake decorating but when I had a little lick of it, it tasted pretty artificial to me and just like sugar. I remember it having more of a vanilla flavour when I originally bought it years ago. I’m guessing they changed the recipe and I’m not impressed!


  • Handy tub

    3.5 out of 5

    This product is great for quick icing it is smooth and creamy and goes onto the cake easily the taste was good it would be better in a larger tub too


  • A time saver

    3.5 out of 5

    This frosting is smooth, creamy and incredibly easy to spread on a cake. I found one tub good to cover an entire cake. I didn’t find that it tasted much like vanilla and it was incredibly sweet but it does still taste nice and compliments most cake flavours well. The tub is convenient and can be kept in the fridge if you haven’t used it all.


  • My favourite

    4.5 out of 5

    Love these Betty Crocker icing they are perfect for cakes and cup cakes and so much better then icing sugar that comes in a cake pack! full of flavour creamy texture easy spreadable it’s great


  • Quick and easy

    4 out of 5

    Always have a tub of this icing in the pantry doe those just in case moments. Super easy to use. So easy that even the kids can ice cupcakes with sprinkles.


  • Ok not amazing

    3 out of 5

    Not too bad for a packet premise icing but I find it too sickly sweet. Easy to use and lovely consistency. If you don’t know how to make icing or lack time this is an option


  • Good Frosting

    4.5 out of 5

    Betty Crocker Frosting Vanilla is such an easy icing option when you are in a ruush or dont want to make your own frosting. I found it to be a nice flavour and good consistency, noone questions it!


  • Easy Decorating

    5 out of 5

    Our family loves all things Betty Crocker and this vanilla frosting is delicious and makes cake decorating as easy as can be. It is a good consistency as it can be spread easily and stays in place. It’s so delicious.


  • Really easy

    5 out of 5

    I will buy this from now on it is so easy to use and I don’t have to worry about making from scratch and it being to runny which is most of the time . It’s so quick and easy and it tastes good too. I have only used the vanilla one so far but will be looking to buy the other flavours as well.

    We love these Betty Crocker frosting mixes. Vanilla is our favourite. So easy and quick when you need a quick and easy alternative to homemade.


  • No

    0.5 out of 5

    This stuff taste horrible. I don’t even know how it’s still on the shelves. My whole family hates it, even the children and I’ve never met anyone that thinks it taste good but I know they use it because it’s easy. Disgusting


  • So sweet

    4 out of 5

    The taste is great and I could eat the whole tub but I shouldn’t as this contains a high amount of sugar. So much so, I can taste the sugar grains in it


  • So easy

    4 out of 5

    I love this ready to spread frosting from Betty Crocker! It’s to easy and fun, tastes great and saves me having to fluff around making it myself. Great texture!


  • Easy as

    4.5 out of 5

    Easy as one two three! Buy, spread, enjoy!
    Cake hacks need this to make it oh so simple and convinient. Sometimes I need a smaller container tho


  • Easy

    3.5 out of 5

    an easy peesy baking hack. Very yummy tasting and smooth, love to
    Use this when I need to colour icing. Spreads on to cakes a treat.


  • Gross

    1 out of 5

    This stuff is just diabetes in a tub…

    So full of sugar and tastes like sugar. Doesn’t have flavour.

    It is sickly sweet and disgusting. Make It from scratch


  • Devine decorating

    4.5 out of 5

    This was the best to use for easy decorating. Was easily coloured with gel colours. Spreads easily and holds form when piped on. I found it quite sweet but it is icing.


  • Amazing icing!

    4.5 out of 5

    I love this product! It is SUPER smooth and delicious flavour. I don’t find it pipes too well though, so don’t use it if making fancy cup cakes. I have been known to eat it out of the tub on bad days.


  • Sweeeeeet

    3.5 out of 5

    I love the brand. Just this one is so sweet and vanilla flavoring is a little off. But also use to buttercream.


  • Makes life easy

    5 out of 5

    Makes life so easy but is so sickly sweet. So super easy to throw together a great cake with minimal effort. Love how it sort of sets but doesn’t go hard


  • Simple

    3.5 out of 5

    Delicious, just a bit firm to use easily to start with. But so easy. I love frosting and this is really convenient


  • Great for birthdays

    4 out of 5

    Love the big size of these tubs. Just brilliant when you have a heap of cakes to ice, for like a birthday party. Nice flavour too

    4.5 out of 5

    this makes my life so much easier when I am time poor. Lovely flavour, easy to open and use and then you can store in the fridge woohoo


  • Easy and tasty

    4.5 out of 5

    I started using betty crocker frosting for my mud cake hacks this year and its fantastic I always whip it up with the electric beaters as its fluffier and goes further but also you can zap it in the microwave to make a drizzle with too so versatile


  • Perfect ready made icing

    4.5 out of 5

    A tad sweeter than how I make my buttercream and Swiss meringue BUT good for when you don’t have time to make your own icing. Best on the market I’ve come across.


  • handy

    3 out of 5

    This frosting is great if you are time poor, however it can be expensive when compared to how much it takes to make your own.


  • Best icing

    5 out of 5

    I used to try and make my icing, now I often just buy the Betty Crocker frosting! It is really tasty, easy to spread. Easy to add colouring for a decorated cake. Even baking my cakes from scratch I’ll often pop this on top.


  • YUMMMMMM

    5 out of 5

    All I can say is do not eat this icing until you’ve iced your cake. Because it is AMAZING and you will want to eat the whole tub. This icing tastes delicious and I use it all the time. I’m lazy now and use this instead of making my own icing!


  • Deliciously sweet

    4.5 out of 5

    This icing is great to have in the pantry, easy for cake making or cup cake decorating with the children. An added bonus it’s super yummy and sweet!!!


  • Convenience in a sweet tub!

    4 out of 5

    OMG this product is the bomb! I make a lot of cake smash cakes for my photo shoots and this is so easy to whip up for the frosting to decorate it with. Add a little tint of colour, pipe on and presto ready to photograph! Although it can be a little sweet for some so I wouldn’t layer it on too thick unless you have a sweet tooth haha


  • Love this when I’m in a rush!

    4 out of 5

    I love using this icing when I’m in a hurry and don’t have enough time to make my one. It has such a rich vanilla flavour and it’s so easy to pipe onto cakes and cupcakes

  • Best frosting out

    5 out of 5

    This is the best frosting available ever that you can put onto party cakes (kid’s birthday) and have all the mums ask for the recipe. Honestly tastes great but wouldn’t use too much because of the nutritional value.


  • Great taste

    5 out of 5

  • Betty Crocker

    5 out of 5

    Betty Crocker have terrific tasting vanilla frosting and this frosting is so good for decorating baked goods. It has a taste that everybody loves!


  • Absolutely disgusting,

    0.5 out of 5

    When I first opened it, I was hit with the smell of alcoholey vanilla essence – you know the kind. I thought I would mix it up a bit and give it a shot. The taste was worse than the smell. It tasted like gritty, sugary, FLOURY, mild vanilla. It tastes like somebody has just mixed flour and powdered sugar with a drop of the fakest vanilla essence you can buy. Really, really bad. I’m convinced these other reviewers must have been paid for their 5 star ratings. Nobody would rate this so highly otherwise. It’s trash material.


  • Tasty and easy to use

    4.5 out of 5

    I love this frosting. I couldn’t find any pink frosting and didnt want to risk making a bad one so I coloured it with pink colouring and it worked perfectly. I needed 2 though to cover 1 cake and had only bought 1 but ended up making a batch anyway.


  • frosting

  • Winner!

    5 out of 5

    Recently used this on a cake. Was very easy to colour and shape. The smell and taste were just divine. I usually make my own but this was much better.


  • Best Frosting Ever

    5 out of 5

    I have been using Betty Crocker Frosting for around 15 years now and since my first purchase it became a fast family favourite. The vanilla flavour is devine and can be coloured to suit any theme. My children may have ended up blue or red once or twice but no-one ever complained!


  • divine

  • Love it!

    4.5 out of 5

    I love this vanilla frosting! I used it back in December, to decorate a gingerbread house. It’s so easy..no prep whatsoever..just open and use. Does have a 3 day expiry date once opened though. This was thick, creamy and delicious and saved me making my own.
