Most tubs state they provide enough frosting to frost about 24 cupcakes.

Product details shown include dietary notes such as gluten-free and kosher, and at least one entry explicitly lists soy as an ingredient.

They’re recommended for frosting and decorating cupcakes, cookies, brownies, and cakes; some icing tubes are also noted for use with cookie and house activity kits for parties.

Some frostings include a separate container of candy bits so you can add the desired amount to your frosting.

They are labeled as ready to eat.
