This recipe is everything it says it is; Easy, yummy, and white. I used it on white and chocolate cake. With a little water I was able to smooth it to look like fondant on a 3 tier wedding cake.

This recipe is an excellent recipe. I used 1/2 C butter and 1/4 C shortening. It is fabulous and delicious. I will make again.

I used 1/2 C butter and 1/4 C shortening. While the consistency was great for icing, I didn't like the flavor. The different ingredients didn't meld well and the flavor of the powdered sugar was prominant.

So good! Very easy to make and tasted great. I followed others reviews and used 1/2 cup butter and 1/4 cup shortening. Also used real vanilla because it was all I had. Even with the changes it was still white enough to call it white.

I'm very impressed with this frosting recipe! I make home-made cinnamon rolls every week for my cafe (Ninety Minute Cinnamon Rolls by Debbie - excellent!!!) and store them in an unrefrigerated bakery case over the weekend. I needed a good frosting with no dairy (no spoilage). This fits the bill! I use butter-flavored Crisco instead of regular shortening & Butter Buds - I like the flavor better - but then it's a little more yellow.

Made the frosting to go with a cake. My shortening wasn't totally mixed correctly because it ended up with way too much a shortening taste, blocking out the other flavoring, so I remade it and tasted great. Very yummy!

Great and simple! I have used this for my last 5 birthday cakes!!! When I don't have butter buds, I just spray 2 or three spritzes of parkay butter spray and it always turns out great. I get lots of compliments every time. Thanks Amy! Roswa

I'm not sure how important the powdered butter flavoring is for this recipe because I didn't have any. I tryed the recipe anyways and found that it was runny and pretty sweet from all the sugar. I put this frosting with a not so great yellow cake and maybe that was the problem. What ever it was the two didn't mix well.

I used butter instead of shortening (yep, replaced all the shortening with pure sweet butter). It was delicious and creamy! Just call it a "butter cream" icing instead of white. Easy to make, and easy on the taste buds!

This is the recipe I use when decorating cakes. Sets up very nicely and tints very well. Everyone loves it and it is sooooo good on a chocolate cake. Kids and adults alike love this frosting.

I was not impressed at all. I followed the directions exactly and found it to be VERY greasy. It did turn out a perfect white and was smooth, but other then that, it was not good. Would be great with butter or even half butter and half shortening, but with all shortening, it was not good.
