A little too sweet and not stiff enough.

Quick and easy recipe for frosting. Cut the recipe in half as I didn't need too much (only needed some to write on Humungous Cookies from this site). Even cutting the recipe in half, I used less than half the amount of icing sugar, probably only 1 1/2 cups instead of 2 1/4 based on half recipe. Found it sweet enough this way. Good stuff!

This is maybe the sweetest frosting I've ever had! It made the roof of my mouth tingle. I like that, but be advised if you don't! It looses points because it didn't set up well for me and slid off the cake. Probably need to keep it refrigerated.

I only used 3 cups of powdered sugar and wasn't able to sift it and this is absolutely the best frosting ever. It puts my favorite bakery's to shame...I will def be making this my go to frosting!! Even with the less sugar this is still firm enough that would be great for decorating cookies as well :)

Good basic butter frosting recipe. I suggest adding the milk and sugar slowly checking for taste and consistency until it reaches your liking. Easy to add ingredients to this icing to make unique flavors. For example, mix in: Cocoa powder = chocolate icing Instant coffee + cocoa powder = mocha icing Lemon juice = lemon icing Lime juice = lime icing (great on coconut cake) Orange zest = orange icing Dollop of Peanut Butter = pb icing Maple Syrup = Maple icing

This recipe is fantastic! So delicious and better tasting than frosting made with shortening. It thickened up and I decorated my cake with no problems (including piping with various tips). I used slightly less sugar and adjusted the milk accordingly, it worked great. I also used mostly vanilla and added some almond extract, I recommend it as it added such a nice flavor.
