Description
I can't remember if it was Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines, but it was pre-tub frosting. The one I loved was the orange flavor because it had a recipe you could use with the mix to make orange creamy candy. I loved that stuff.

I believe it was made by Jiffy who also made various muffin mixes in those same little boxes.

I think i know what you are talking about. It is still made, it is called Betty Crocker Homestyle Frosting ( Fluffy White). It is my husband's favorite. I mostly find it at small town grocery stores like Piggly Wiggly and Ingles. You maybe be able to find it on Hard to Find grocer.

Betty Cocker had the cake frosting mixes in a box to match the cake mixes in a box. I remember My Mom made me cherry chip cake birthday cake with the matching cherry chip frosting. It wasn't ready to serve (like the canned stuff) you had add stuff to it.

I've been extremely saddened since the loss of this delicious cake frosting mix. The "Cherry Chip" frosting mix was sooooo good and the cherry chip cake is just not the same without the mix. Yeah, yeah, they have the gross TUBS of pre made stuff that tastes like a bunch of yukky preservatives. The Cherry chip cake with the cherry chip box frosting mix was truly a tradition in our family as so many of us loved it. I used to want that cake for my birthday all of the time and so does my brother in law. When ever I decided to make a cake, it would be the cherry chip. Sadly, we really have lost this beloved stuff!!!!!!!!

I thought all the standard cos (Duncan Hines, Pillsbury, etc) made frosting mix. I remember using them very frequently. (Love this website, btw!)

Those boxed frostings that you added butter and whatever too tasted so much better than the canned stuff.

The fudge frosting in a box was made by a company called QT. It was excellent. I bought it in New York City and don't know if it is still made today. I am looking for it here in Miami. The tub frosting is too oily and never tastes right.

I used the Fluffy White frosting all the time when I was baking cakes as a kid. I loved the chocolate boxed frosting as well. The stuff in the tub tastes horrible--I make frosting from scratch rather than use the tub.

I remember these. My sister and I would make them all the time. Why did they ever stop making them?

I live in IL and I'm pretty sure you can still buy the Betty Crocker fluffy white frosting mix. I think I saw it at a Super Walmart here.

i remember when my older sisters baked a cake, and they always used QT box frosting, i always waited to lick the bowl and the mixer things, of course they would prolong the agony and mix longer or have me do favors before i got the frosting....i dont think QT is around anymore i goggled it and there is no places listed...very very sad

I always used the boxed frosting mix, mostly the chocolate and was wondering why they ever stopped making it. The tub frostings just don''t have that great taste. Betty Crocker smarten up!!!!

I also had the Betty Crocker "Cherry Chip" cake and frosting growing up for my birthdays. My mom made it in a heart shaped pan since my b-day is close to Valenrine's Day. Found the cake mix (actually my mother-in-law did), put missing the frosting mix :( I agree the tubs don't do frosting justice. I too wish BC would bring back the box frosting mixes.

I want them back. Jiffy, Duncan Hines, Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, QT., they all had Cake Frosting Mix in a box. Loved the Frosting for German Chocolate Cakes. Hope someone hears that I want the boxed frosting mixes brought back.

You can still find the powdered frosting mixes in the health food sections of stores (usually organic), but what I want is the fudge recipee that used to be on the boxes of the powdered frosting mixes. Then I would buy the frosting mix that I can find and try making fudge with it. Does anybody have the recipee from an old frosting box?
