Has anyone else done this? I baked a yellow cake today. When I was ready to frost the cake I discovered that DF had eaten almost half the jar of icing. My only other option was to make some myself so I started that and figured out I was out of vanilla and didn't have any other flavorings. At that point I figured okay I'll try something new and dumped a packet of orange kool-aid in. It turned out pretty good. The flavor is a little rich so I could have probably gotten by with half a packet but it's not a bad idea. You could probably add it to store bought icing too. I think I'll try lemonade next time.

oh what a neat idea!! How did the color work?? Could you use as a flavoring and as a dye of sorts?

Oh yum, I bet the lemonade kind with a lemon cake would be AWESOME :drool Or you could do a strawberry koolaid with a strawberry cake. :drool

That's so cool! Who would have thought!

HUMMM!!! thats sound really kool and differant

Wow...who'da thunk it.
