Yes, Kyla. Keep the frosting airtight in the refrigerator and then bring it to room temperature before using it.
Kyla says
Can the frosting be for later use?
Cindy Hopper says
Creme Bouquet is made by Magic Line. LorAnn oils have something similar called Princess Flavoring.
Cindy Hopper says
Becky, it is a liquid flavoring typically found in specialty baking supply shops. It is vanilla, almond and a hint of citrus. If you look through the comments I believe there is a homemade recipe for it. If you don’t have it vanilla works great or almond, whichever you prefer. Hope this helps.
Becky says
The creme bouquet if it a liquid or powder and is it with the spices or different departments
Ali Painter says
