this recipe is a big challenge. i thought that the other reviewers didn't follow the instructions properly that's why they ended up with a runny frosting...but i was wrong. i made sure my bowl and other utensils was grease free and had high hopes it was gonna work for me but it didn't. i think this recipe needs to be experimented with and customized so that it wouldn't be such a challenge.

I had the same problem as some previous reviewers. I couldn't get it fluffy, so it is more like an icing.

Yummy but was more like icing than frosting but maybe it needed more whipping. I was short on time and could not mix for 5-10 minutes and my mixer was not working. But, it tasted very good! I will definitely try this again and hopefully make it more "whipped" this time. I like that it has easy ingredients that you usually have on-hand too!

Not as fluffy as I thought it might be. but a very good quick icing! :) My son has a peanut allergy, so we need to bring our own cupcakes and things for him to parties. This is a great quick icing I can make when we need to be somewhere! Thanks for sharing!

Good flavor, and low in butter, but not very fluffy. This frosting piped onto the cupcakes nicely, and I would definitely give it another try.

This recipe works for me! For a "frosting" recipe without shortening - this one does the trick. I've made it a few times and I add a little more vanilla and a little less water. It works every time. Double the recipe for frosting to spare - otherwise it's just enough for a spread on a small round cake.
