How do you keep freezer from over frosting?

Use a frost-free freezer. Frost-free freezers are freezers that are temperature-controlled in order to keep frost from developing in the freezer in the first place.

Place and use a dehumidifier in the room where you have your freezer set up, if you notice your freezer has frost buildup on days when there is high humidity. A high humidity level in the air is likely the problem if you notice frost build up in your freezer during the summer months.

Close the doors to the freezer at all times. If you notice the doors to the freezer don't close securely when you push them shut, make sure it is secure. Also, keep children from standing with the freezer door open when they aren't getting something out of the freezer in order to keep warm air that contains moisture out of the freezer. When the doors to the freezer finally close, the moisture in the warm air instantly freezes and creates frost.
- 4
Adjust the temperature in the freezer to a lower level. When you see frost building up in your freezer, it is often caused by too high of a temperature in the freezer unit. By adjusting the temperature to a lower level, you can eliminate the frost build up.
- 5
Clean your refrigerator to keep frost from building up. If you keep moisture and dirt out of your freezer, these materials can't turn into frost.

What to add to can of icing to make decorator icing?
Canned icing is not ideal for piping. It has a great consistency for spreading on a cake. You may be able to get it thick enough to pipe simply by adding confectioners sugar to it. Try adding 1/4 cup at first and mixing it in. In order to pipe, it should be thick enough to stand up on top of a spoon. Some decorations such as roses require much thicker icing. I wouldn't even try to do them with canned icing. But, if you have confectioner's sugar on hand, you're better off just making icing from scratch.
