  • “I made the frosting today and it turned out tooo sweet.I used 1 cup of powdered sugar, just as called for, but I ended up throwing it away after letting my husband and friend tasted it.I tried the second time without the sugar just butter and marshmallow.It turned out better.”

  • “This was very fluffy and light.A great recipe.From Brewhead”

  • “Amazing! Loved it!”

  • “Very fluffy frosting. Spreads on very nicely, looks beautiful on a cake, but WAY TOO SWEET.”

  • “BEST.FROSTING.EVER.I have made tons of different frosting and this is by far the best I have ever tasted! It tastes exactly like vanilla ice cream. Yum! Not too sweet, not buttery or gritty, it is perfect! Spreads great too. My new go to recipe.”

  • “Have been looking for a frosting with flavor for my homemade/ decorated cakes.Found one!!!!Love this!It has flavor and is sinfully delicious!Hubby wanted a cake with whipped cream frosting bought from the store for his b-day, but after trying this one he wanted this instead.That is saying a lot!!Thanks for the submit!!!”

  • “This is such a great butter cream recipe. It is so easy to make.It make it for dark chocolate cake, oreo cookies cupcake and I mix flake coconut for my pineapple coconut cake.AWESOME.”

  • “I’m a frosting hater from way back, but this I love. It was easy-peasy and yummy, too.”

  • “This is good and easy for when you need a nice basic frosting.I used unsalted butter as NellieGirl recommended and this was good on Recipe #289414, but a little heavy for the lightness of those cupcakes but tasty with the Oreos.I will use this again when I need a quick easy white frosting!”

  • “MizzNezz, you are SO right…this IS the best!! I have my new favorite frosting forever. It was extremely easy to make. I used this to frost vanilla cupcakes, perfect. The only thing I recommend to others is to use unsalted butter.”

  • “Unfortunately neither my boyfriend nor myself liked this frosting. I made it to frost onto a vanilla cake but the flavor was horrible. It tastes like butter and slightly bitter, yet sweet at the same time. The consistency is comparable to a thick whipped butter. I tried refrigerating it then whipping it again but that did not help.”

  • “LOVED IT!!!!Had a very nice texture, and it wasn’t too sweet.Will be using this one again and again.Thanks!!”

  • “Awesome! I also used with KittenCal’s vanilla cupcakes. Came out wonderful! thanks!”

  • “I do *not* know how to cook or bake and this recipe looked do-able to me.I made it with my 8 year old and her 7 year old friend and it turned out wonderful!Definitely sweet, but not overly sweet.Soooo yummy!”

  • “This is the best!I made this the first time for a 4th of July party,all of our friends and kids loved itI have given this recipe out to several people all with the same results as I had – Not too sweet, easy to work with!next time I will try with Kittencal’s marshmallow fluff recipe – Thanks !”

  • “This is a great buttercream frosting.I made for my kids birthdays and everyone loved it.It’s a great alternative to your classic buttercream frosting.Just perfect!”

  • “Easy to make and to work with. Doubled the recipe for use with a chocolate triple layer cake. For my tastes this didn’t have enough sweetness to balance the large amount of butter, but we enjoyed trying it! Thanks for sharing the recipe!”

  • “I make this all the time and it is wonderful and easy. The kids love licking the bowl clean with this one. I also have used margarine sticks more times than I can count and it comes out great too. I especially like tinting this pink with some red food coloring and frosting it on my Recipe #375757 with some colored sprinkles (jimmies). The kids go crazy over it when I do that.”

  • “I used this to top recipe#291089. Wonderful, Wonderful. I don’t need to say more!!!”
