Pretty Good! I am not much of a frosting fan and usually can only take certain buttercream frostings. But I tried this one as an experiment and I can eat it without feeling that frosting-sick feel. I love the lightness. I also used just a little bit of milk as almost everyone else has said to do, and I am glad I took the advice. 1/4 cup would have been way to much.

OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! Been looking for a frosting recipe that tastes as good as Betty Crocker's, but can have the thickness of buttercream, so that it will hold up for decorating. This one has it ALL!!! Thanks so much for this amazingly sweet and yummy frosting, Claudia!!!

Worked great for a clean, white frosting that was fluffy and yummy! I made sure to use clear vanilla extract and beat it for 10 minutes.

I love this recipe i only made 3 changes 1. I only used a 1/2 cup butter ( I also only has 3 cups sugar) 2. I did about a table spoon of milk (milk makes it look shiny other wise i would not use any) 3. I added a table spoon or 2 of lemon so it did not taste sickly sweet. I also suggest using a stand mixer on high so it really gets whipped up.

I omitted the milk, kept the egg whites, and instead of shortening, I used 1/2 package of cream cheese plus 1 stick butter. I didn't know the yield of the recipe before I made it, but it made enough frosting for 2 dozen+ cupcakes heavily frosted. I might try keeping the milk and omitting the egg whites next time.

I love the recipe, but instead of omitting the milk, I left it in and took out the egg. This was on a very small scale (1 serving to see how it was), but I think it would work out just as well.

This frosting is awesome! I used it on ice cream cone cupcakes and on a cake and still had extra! Everone who ate it loved it. The frosting will get too watery if you add all the milk, so I halved it. It was delicious!

As written this recipe only deserves a weak three stars because if one was to include the 1/4 cup milk called for it would be much too thin. Thanks to previous reviewers, I didn't include any milk at all. However, there is another problem - the two teaspoons of vanilla turns this an unpleasant dingy shade of off brownish-white. Fine if you're tinting your frosting, undesirable if you're not. In hindsight I'd say use no vanilla at all or at most 1 tsp., use imitation clear vanilla, or almond extract, which is clear. Finally, while the flavor was nice, I wasn't totally pleased with the texture, probably because of the flour. I wasn't nearly as pleased with this recipe as I've been with others from this site.

This is the perfect frosting! Not too sweet and sooooo much tastier than store-bought frosting!!! I did use a bit more than 2 drops of blue food coloring so that it didn't look gray. I highly recommend this frosting!

Tastes delicious, but it was way too runny. I had to add much more flour and sugar in addition to overnight refrigeration to get the fluffy consistency.

This frosting was VERY good! Less sweet than most frostings and light. To fix the problem of the frosting being too runny, like other reviewers mentioned, I just left out the milk. There really is no need for it. Perfect spreading consistancy and I was also able to decorate w/ it for borders and piping scroll work. This is a lightly crusting recipe also. Be sure to refrigerate your cake with this as it has raw egg whites in it. Highly recommended. :)

I used this on an angel food cake and it was perfect! It was a little bit runny and I didn't have time to cool it so I just added another tablespoon of flour. I made it a second time and added a couple tablespoons of coco and no extra four and it was perfect thickness and taste after an hour in the fridge, I'll definitely be using this recipe lots!
