In reply to Paula. Hi Paula, you can certainly use this frosting as the filling for the cake. Let us know how it turns out!

Hi. I would love to try this. I am making a two tier birthday cake with three layers in each tier and I’m wondering if this frosting is sturdy enough for the filling? Thanks

In reply to Steph. SAME, I hate cream cheese. I started looking at the comments hoping this was answered.

This frosting combined with SBA confetti cake is an amazing combination. Have made it for multiple birthday cakes and always get great reviews and people asking for the recipe. Yes, it does not taste exactly like the stuff in the can which I loved frowning up, but it is nostalgic and even better because it doesn’t taste chemically like canned frostings do. It is SO good. I do use white chocolate chips because I have not found a tree nut free white chocolate bar and it comes out really well as long as I melt it slowly.

Ok I wish I read the comments before I made it because SAME. Its not a bad icing, but it taste nothing like the betty crocker rainbow chip icing. I also got dunkaroos to taste-test mine. For me, this recipe came out very very cream cheesey, and kind of overpowers everything.

I absolutely love the rainbow chip frosting from Betty Crocker, and being in Canada (where it’s unavailable for purchase), I was hoping to find a good substitute recipe.

I enjoyed what the addition of cream cheese and the white chocolate rainbow chips brought to traditional buttercream, but this recipe didn’t taste at all like I was hoping. It’s certainly not as sweet as the original rainbow chip icing (which was expected), but the flavour itself wasn’t similar at all.

My sister recently purchased a package of Dunkaroos for me, so I could compare the flavours of the icing (as I thought perhaps I was misremembering what Betty Crocker rainbow chip frosting tasted like), and unfortunately the two seem to be nothing alike outside of the white chocolate bits and the appearance.

It’s still a delicious and fun recipe (especially if you like cream cheese), but unfortunately it looks like my search for a rainbow chip replacement continues.

In reply to Annacie. Hi Annacie, We would actually 1.5x it. Doubling would be too much, but if you’re OK with frosting leftovers– that’s ok too! We wouldn’t double or 1.5x the white chocolate rainbow chips though. The recipe as written will be plenty.
