I wasn't impressed with this recipe. Since another reviewer said it tasted too much like shortening, I subbed butter, which made it taste pretty butter-y. It made it melty from the temperature of my hands while I was trying to pipe it into the cucakes. IF I were to make this again, I might try half shortening and half butter, and a medium size star tip, or bigger round one, to make it go faster and melt less. Overall, this seemed like a lot of work for a mediocre result.

I didn't care for it much. Had too much of a shortening taste to me, like the icing on ready-made cakes from Walmart, but thicker. Thanks for sharing, though!

Good basic recipe. Easy to prepare & it came out really well. I used a homemade frosting. When filling, make sure to use a wide tip decorating tip, as its rather thick. After switching, it went much quicker! Thanks
