I've tried any number of similar buttercream recipes from this site and most have been very good - after all, with minor variations they're pretty much the same. This recipe, however, sets itself apart from most others. First, it's reliable - the frosting comes out exactly as it's supposed to following the recipe just as written, so you can feel confident that very little, if any, tweaking is going to be required. Second, I like the addition of the salt, which noticeably heightens this frosting's flavor, as well as the heavy cream, which contributes a fresh, dairy taste, important when you're using shortening and imitation vanilla. It spreads or pipes beautifully, LOOKS beautiful, and the bonus is that it tastes good too. No wonder this frosting is such a hit on this site! I used this to frost cupcakes made from the "Butter Pound Cake," recipe, also from this site. It was like they were made for each other!
