Why doesn’t some company make a container of frosting that actually covers an entire cake?
Every time I am frosting a cake, I find I’m always just a little bit short of frosting. The sides of the cake don’t get as much as they should. If you’re frosting the cake to bring it somewhere, and you need it to look good, you need to buy TWO tubs of frosting, just to be safe. Which is probably why they portion it out the way they do, so you have to buy more. But why not make a container that boasts "20% More!!!" so every cake could be properly frosted? As long as it wasn’t priced more than 20% more, I would buy it.
