This is probably the best tasting frosting I have ever made. Very much like a sturdy whipped cream. It is very soft and not easy to work with though so I would not advise it for a cake that will be out for awhile. The only thing I did differently is not chilling the flour mixture as was suggested earlier.

So far, this is the best buttercream frosting recipe that I have found. It is creamy and not too sweet. It also colored well with food coloring. I used it to decorate my son's birthday cake.

My milk & flour never got to a paste & i cooked on low & stirred for 30 minutes. Maybe thats why the frosting never got creamy, but looked oily & separated. What did i do wrong??

Love this frosting. Excellent smooth appearance and just the right amount of sweetness. I found that it helps to only allow the flour/milk mixture to become "cool" not cold, much easier to mix that way. Thanks for the awesome receipe, Adora.

Perfect frosting. Next time I may try a little more butter and less shortening.

I was wondering if any other family every had this recipe!! This is the BEST buttercream ever!! My family has been using it for years. It can be tricky to get the lumps out but its worth all the effort in the end. Your family and friends will just LOVE it for holidays, birthdays or just because days! Thank you for sharing it!

This frosting is smooth, pretty, easy to work with and most of all delicious! It's not too sweet at all and the consistency is really special. You do have to do it right, make sure that your "paste" is nice and thick and then whip the heck out of it, but it's worth the extra effort.

Followed recipe exactly, but the finished product tasted overwhelmingly like Crisco. Fortunetly, someone on site suggested using all butter, so I went back and remade the recipe. The second time around, it tasted a lot better, but lacked visual appeal.

I don't know what went wrong, I followed the recipe exactly. The milk/flour mixture hardened in the fridge to where it was like jelly trying to mix it in again. The end product had chunks I couldn't get rid of. I was very sad because I needed it for my cake decorating class.

This is the best frosting I've ever had. It's very, very rich though, so if you're not in the mood for something awesomely sweet, you should find another recipe.

I have been looking for a frosting that was not too sweet and I think this is it! My friends enjoyed it very much. However, I noticed that the frosting seemed to slide off the cake as I was applying the frosting. What did I do wrong?
