Easy Frosting
About This Recipe
“I have been making this recipe for years. I don’t know if someone else has the same one, but it is one I came up with when I was first married and I did not care for the store ready-to-spread ones. You can also add food coloring too–I have had some pretty colors with this frosting.”

“I thought this was a good recipe. The butter-flavored Crisco adds great depth to the flavor!”
“We make this frosting for our cookies and crescent rolls.It is delicious and reminds me of my Dad’s frosting that he made when I was little.Thanks for posting!!!”
“This was perfect! Use a good quality vanilla! Great butter cream frosting!”
“Wonderfully easy and delicious recipe. Beats the hell out of the canned stuff and so easy that even I can make it (this was my first time making frosting). I used all butter (1/2 cup) as opposed to shortening and butter and it tastes/looks great. Way too easy for as good as it is. Not a complex flavor I suppose, but DEFINITELY stands up to its name. Would definitely recommend!”

“Wow!Yummy! Super Easy!I’ve never made my own frosting before….didn’t really think it could be done.Thanks for saving me tons of money for all the future cupcakes and cakes I will have to make for my little boy.Good bye Duncan Hines!P.S. I used 1/4 cup of vegetable oil instead of shortening because I didn’t have any of that in my house and it still turned out great.”

“This recipe is AWESOME! I use DH butter recipe golden (bake as directed on box using a stick of pure butter) & top it with this frosting. But, you have to move quick to get some before it’s gone. Also, everyone wants the recipe & says it’s delicious! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe.”
