Tastes great. I Had to use alot more sugar though. Without the extra sugar, it was runny and didn't even make enough to frost a whole cake. I used almond extract instead of vanilla.

This was a good frosting. Instead of shortening I used butter & I used milk instead of water.

Quick, easy & everything is in the cupboard. I exchanged mint & orange extract for the vanilla.

I used butter instead of shortening and it was fabulous! The only problem I had was stopping myself from grabbing a spoon and eating it right out of the bowl!

One word---FABULOUS!! I made this frosting for a group, and everyone raved about it!! It tastes just like the frosting you get on store-bought cakes. I also made a chocolate version--used milk instead of water, and added about 1/4 cup cocoa, and the results were equally as wonderful!

While the outcome of this icing was very good, I had to add an entire extra box of confectioner's sugar to the ingredients to get the icing to the correct consistency! I followed the advice of another reviewer, and used milk instead of water, but I'm wondering if the problem didn't lie in the fact I didn't use shortening or real butter-- all I had was Country Crock, and so I used that. After adding the extra sugar, the icing was very fluffy and tasted great on a chocolate cake, so all's well that ends well!

This frosting was YUMMY! and the perfect consistency - fluffy! I substituted milk for the warm water and I used 1 1/2 tsp. of vanilla. Delicious! All the mom's at my 4 year old's B-day party had 2 pieces! Used it with whipped cream cake from this site -- my new favorite recipes for cake and frosting! Three people asked for the recipe. :)

I used this frosting for my son's 1st birthday cake. It was very easy to prepare and use. It's great to use for something kids will eat because it doesn't require egg whites. The taste got rave reviews from family and friends as well.

Mediocre. Its a little grainy and doesnt taske sweet. I would use 1/2 butter/margarine and 1/2 shortening also add more vanilla extract lots lots more. that improves the taste. looks nice on cakes though
