extremely tasty! All my kids LOVED it, and so did I!!!!!!!! Great for parties

I thought it would be more fluffy, but by the time it was spreadable it was more marshmallowy. Tasted fine, but it is still really sweet unlike what the recipe says about it being not as sweet.

I made it accrding to the recipe and it was terrific. A little less sweet than the 7 minute frosting I grew up with. I did have to beat it for more like 13 minutes. Just be sure to wait until it's thick and firm enough to spread.

My mom has been making this for years, using light corn syrup in place of the creme of tarter (no diffrence in the taste at all). I like this one better. It's so easy once you find the trick...WHICH IS keep mixing but don't start timing your 7 minutes until after the water returns to boiling and run your mixer on high for the full 7 minutes. It's thick and creamy and tastes like marshmallow fluff. Perfect on chocolate cake or cup cakes. However you have to spread it on a completly cool cake while the frosting is still slightly warm, and DO NOT cover it it will stick to everything (as does fluff) and it does get a little grainy after it sets for a long period (6-8 hours) of time to best to make just a few hours before serving. Sounds like a lot of work but it's really not. AND IT'S WORTH WHAT LITTLE TIME IT DOES TAKE! YUMMY!!!!

yummy! i had no problem with this frosting getting thick enough. i beat it for the 7 minutes on the heat and about 1 more off of the heat. it worked great! it goes fantastic with chocolate cupcakes. i agree, it took me back to my childhood too!

I followed the recipe to the T. The flavor was ok, but it was so runny. I stirred it for at least 15 mins and it wouldnt get stiff. Very disappointed

Really good. I made it with the Dark Chocolate II Cake recipe which I made as cupcakes. It tasted a bit like Hostess Cupcakes except not dry. I did use a hand held mixer to mix. I'm not sure if I could have done it by hand.

Fluffy frosting! If using good quality vanilla extract (real), reduce to 1/2 teaspoon, otherwise flavor may be a bit too strong.

Easy to make and a good light taste.

Frosting tasted delicious... but it took a lot longer to make, and did not get to be as stiff as I expected it to be. Easy enough to make though.

I use this recipe, but I add 8 small marshmallows when I pull it off the head, and beat until they melt and it's ready to spread. I've also used orange juice in place of water and orange extract in place of vanilla. It's great with my oraqnge cream cake. It's a wonderful marshmallow frosting!

Great recipe!

Delicious! I used 2 tsp light corn syrup since I didn't have the cream of tartar and that worked well.

This is exactly like my Mom's! When i was a kid, I called it "marshmallow frosting". It's best on an angelfood or white cake. YUMMYLICIOUS!

I love this frosting! I've used it for years, and it never fails to be a favorite among kids and adults, as well as a wonderful decoration on any cake or cupcake.
