It was very good but tasted a little too much of shortening and sugar, but good!

I followed the recipe exactly, but it was like eating plain sugar. It's entirely too sweet.

Thank you so much! This is the most awesome frosting ever! When other reviewers said it was a bit sugary, I knew it was for me! I will never buy the canned frosting again. THANKS!

This recipe was like magic- it was my first time using shortening so I was a little scared that it wouldn't turn out right- but all of a sudden a bowl full of shortening-crumbs turned into beautiful white frosting! I'm not sure if I put in the right amount of sugar and it still tasted delicious!

I had to try twice to succeed with this recipe. Beating it for 5 minutes made it all warm and lumpy; you could feel the sugar! But the second time I mixed it for a minute (approx.)and it came out perfect and fluffy!

Awesome recipe. Easy to make, versatile and tastes good. I added a little lemon zest to the recipe to frost lemon cupcakes...absolutely divine. The basic recipe is great and I'll try other variations as well. The possibilities are endless when you have such a simple base.

I only did a half-recipe of this, and I still had plenty left over after frosting a two-layer 12" cake! In addition to halfing the recipe, I used half shortening and half butter (a quarter-cup of both), and I added a tablespoon of water and about a tablespoon plus one teaspoon of corn syrup. This thinned out the frosting and made it taste less like buttercream (which I don't much care for) and made it much sweeter - too sweet, in fact, for me, but the rest of my family adored it.

This is definitely the best white icing ever. I can't buy store-bought bakery cakes because my son has Celiac Disease and can't have anything with wheat. He always comments on those cakes so I wanted to find a frosting that is the same as what he sees at birthday parties and bakeries. I was not disappointed. It's super easy to make and frost. Thanks Meghan!

Excellent frosting. I added about 1 tsp of 'imitation butter extract', which is only slightly yellow, to reduce the shortening flavor. The icing was still stark-white, but had a better flavor. Beating it longer really does make it super-creamy, and I think that it is better the next day.

It tasted too much like the powdered sugar and shortening. I followed the recipe exactly and used my electric mixer to make sure it was combined well. It worked for the cupcakes though... 6 year old kids aren't that picky ;o) I think it would be better with less shortening, and do half and half butter and shortening.

Turned out great. Used as frosting. I prefer buttercream, but this looked easier, glad I did - It tastes good. Frosted beautifully.

My son has allergies to eggs. This is the best icing recipe that I've found to top his "special" cake. He loves it and so doesn't everyone else. Thanks for the great recipe!!

I used Splenda that had been run in the food processor for this recipe to make it sugar free and it turned out wonderful! I also just used extra vanilla instead of water and added a splash of rose water. It came together really quick, but i let it beat with the wisk attachment for the full 5 min and it is so fluffy and creamy! Anyhow, this one is going into the recipe box :)

Excellent decorating icing, it really holds it shape. But once it's covered it softens up. I added a little more milk when mixing and added peppermint extract and cocoa. Very tasty!
