Made this twice, once with all butter & second time with margarine. Both times they were delicious! Not for piping & fancy designs, but great for cupcakes & for basic frosting on a cake. My go to recipe.

Excellent, only change I made was 1 1/2 cups butter and 1/2 cup shortening.

This is actually quite good and super easy, I actually use Mexican Vanilla that I order online and it is my secret ingredient for all my baking. It truly makes all the difference to use quality vanilla extract.

Consistency was great and the flavor was good one. Cut it in half for one 2 layer cake or 9x13 cake. Also, used butter AND Crisco

I don't think this recipe really needs another glowing review, but here it is. This was wonderful, tasty and easy to make. I used 1 cup of butter and 1 of shortening. The color was creamy white and easy to spread. This is a keeper. I am not a Wilton cake maker so I need a frosting that is pretty and doesn't need special tools to make a pretty cake.

This recipe is very easy to make and absolutely delicious! Very easy to work with, too. I have decorated 3 cakes with it so far and all have turned out wonderfully. I followed the recipe as is with no changes. I highly recommend this recipe. Thanks for sharing this great recipe!

This is awesome. I use half salted sweet cream butter and half shortening for cakes... it's so delicious that my teenager keeps asking me to make her a batch 'just to eat with a spoon'!

I rate it 5 stars with the exception that you use REAL salted butter. There is a reason is is called buttercream! The best frosting EVER. I have used it to decorate several cakes and it holds up nicely. I really was not a frosting person until this frosting found me! Not too sweet or waxy tasting (with the butter!) I get so many compliments on it. I like using coconut extract to flavor it...delish over chocolate cake layered with coconut pecan filling!
