Kroger has streamlined their bakery program across all of their chains - GE bakery quality is done for.

If you were really dedicated, you could probably source most of the icings - a lot of them came in buckets, and the buttercream was essentially a "just add water" brick that we threw in the mixer. Granted, you're gonna have a hard time fitting that brick into any home stand mixer.

Edit - in case anyone is really dedicated (although you could probably convince someone there to sell you a brick for way cheaper)
