To use, simply open the container. If the frosting has separated slightly, stir it gently with a spatula until smooth. You can spread it directly onto baked goods using a knife or offset spatula for a rustic look. For more intricate designs, transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a decorative tip. This allows for precise application of swirls, rosettes, and borders. It can also be used as a filling between cake layers or cookies.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best to let the frosting come to room temperature before using it again, as it will firm up when chilled. This helps to achieve the best consistency for spreading or piping.
