This tasted just like whipped cream and if you follow the directions exactly, you can't mess this up. It looks beautiful.

Pretty Good! Has a very buttery taste to it. That could be my fault. I subed huney for the sugar and wheat flour for reg. I also added extra vinilla to give it more flavor. Tasted very good on carrot bars, which I tinted it orange. Everyone seemed to like it! Thanks

I was a little scared to try this recipe due to the mixed reviews, but it turned out as promised - looking like whipped cream. It's really more of a buttery frosting than creamy frosting, though. I recommend using superfine sugar instead of regular granulated sugar.

This recipe whipped together just fine (make sure the milk and flour mixture cools completely), but it is extremely rich, very buttery, and might be best suited for a cake kept in the refrigerator.

I was so excited to find this recipe here! It was my favorite with chocolate cake when I was growing up. It is not as sweet as some frosting, and it is very fluffy and looks great on a layer cake.

I loved this recipe. It was light and fluffy and had a great creamy color. I didn't have any problems getting it to come together, nor with it being too thin or lumpy as some others have had. I will definitely be using this frosting more often.

I was really disappointed with this recipe. I definitely do NOT recommend it to anyone who does not have a stand mixer- I have one, and finally had to turn it off because I thought it would overheat. If I had to stand there with a hand held mixer, I would have given up much sooner. I mixed & mixed & it still did not all come together. It looks curdled to begin with, which is normal, but after 20 minutes of mixing, it still looked a little curdled and the sugar had not dissolved. As far as lumpy flour other people mentioned, you really need to stir constantly as it thickens. I did not have any problem with that at all. Also, this is not nice and cream colored- it is definitely yellow, with the butter and vanilla. I was hoping it would look lighter upon beating. I finally had to give up on this. I have very little time to find a new recipe now to frost my friend's birthday cake.

I had my doubts when I saw the consistency of the milk/flour mixture but the end results overcame my hesitation! This frosting not only looks like a bakery frosting but tastes almost as good as one too! It is quick and easy, has few ingredients and I think it makes more than the recipes states. I frosted a batch of cupcakes and still had quite a bit left over!

This is a great recipe if you are looking for a frosting that is not too sweet and has a smooth whipped texture. (I did add 1/2 tsp almond extract.) One problem, there were very small lumps of butter and, possibly, cooked flour in the finished frosting. Nonetheless, it got rave reviews.

At first I was kinda shaky about it, but once I made it, it really did look like whipped cream. And my grandmother, who's always looking for a good frosting recipe, LOVED it. Used it to frost a red velvet cake...complimented it very well.

I didn't have enough butter to make this recipe, so I substituted half with butter flavored shortening. It still turned out yummy!

I had a hard time getting the right consistency and had to add a bunch of flour but overall this was a great recipe. I added pureed strawberries to make a strawberry whipped topping. My husband loved it.

It was good but i would not say it was the best. It is one of the better frosting recipes I have tried but the texture is not as good as the store bought kind. The flavor is better than packaged frosting but the texture is not as good if you are looking for a frosting to truly decorate a cake.
